To the Nissen families, I always enjoyed waiting on your mom so much, as well as your dad, your grandpa Frank, and all of you. Those were the good old days. You have my sympathy and my thoughts are with all of you now.

Phyllis was a terrific lady, to Larry and to our kids. She was also a great wife and is now again with Pat. We had great times with her and she will be remembered fondly by our family. God's blessings, Phyllis!

To Phyllis' family - Phyllis and her lady friends from Mills Harbor used to come into the Pizza Ranch in Lake Mills every Friday evening. As the years went by their visits became less especially during the winter months, however I always enjoyed their visits. They were like adopted grandmothers to me. Thank you for sharing her. She was a very special lady. Cathy Caldwell - Lake Mills Pizza Ranch owner
