My sweet Nana,
I think of you each and everyday, and now that you are gone, I realize just how much of a huge impact you have had on my life. The way I live my life is a huge reflection of you, Nana. Not a day would go by where you wouldn't tell me how much you loved me. I remember one day, when I was living in Franklin, and you would make the almost daily drive to come see Bob and I, that we were sitting on a park bench near the river, and you said "Someday, when I am not here anymore, you'll remember these days, and remember how much I loved you." I remember saying that would not happen for a long, long time. How time passes so quickly! It seems like that was just a few days ago, sometimes. It was actually 36 years ago.
How you LOVED being near the water! I still hear your voice laughing at a silly joke, or a funny word you would say when something small would happen, like a spilled drink. You would say, "Oh nuts-o-facto!" And then you would look at me and we would both laugh. You were such a kind, compassionate person. You modeled helping others and faith in Jesus. Well, Nana, I am now a Grandmother, and guess what? I am a beloved Nana to two beautiful, healthy two year old baby boys who are the lights of my life, and Bob's life. Everyone can have a grandmother, but it takes a very special person to be a Nana. I miss you very much, Nana. Someday, I will see you again in Heaven. Just know that through my life, as a person, wife, mother and Nana, your legacy lives on.

Nana,
We all still love you very much!
I enjoy thinking about you, and our time we shared together on this earth. You were such an inspiration to me through the years❤
I afraid at first when you passed. Because I thought...Who is going to pray for me? How will my prayers get answered? Besides, the fact that I miss you so much.
But then, I was the one that grew in Christ. Your prayer for your family to be saved and have a personal relationship with Jesus, has come true for Kelly and I, and we now have the peace that passes all understanding. Thank you Nana, for showing us the way❤

My wife and I visited Phyllis's gravesite up at the State Veterans Cemetary in Boscawen and said goodbye. You can readily find her gravesite using the locator in the Administration bldg.

Phyllis came alongside me when I was new to the ministry of New Life Home for Women and Children. We became best of friends. Phyllis would often treat me to a Dunkin donuts coffee and donut and then the two of us would attend a Tuesday night Bible and prayer service. Phyllis was a true friend. Phyllis, I know your home with the Lord now but, I bet you didn't know just how many lives you have humbly reflected the light of Christ through for His glory. I love you and will always hold your memory dear to my heart.

To Her Family,
My fondest memories of spending part of my summer vacation at the lake with Ma and Pa Taylor was the trips to Masons' a small market down the street with Auntie Phyllis to get comic books and a bottle of Pepsi. You all have my deepest sympathy and I know she is home with my Dad and watching out for all of you.

Nana, Although I will miss seeing your face,you have prepared me for this day for many years. Since I was about ten, and came to visit you very often on the weekends;you would read me stories from the bible and take me to church. It is because of you Nana, that I have faith in Jesus and I believe! I love you, and I will hold those weekends close in my heart. I am happy knowing that you are in heaven... Love always, Your granddaughter Traci

Over many years, a friendship blossomed between us during our volunteering at the Nursing Home. We couldn't wait to visit our friend Phyllis, our prayer warrior! She prayed for our family situations and we saw prayers answered because of her faithfulness. She never gave up praying, no matter the circumstance with our children or her own. We will miss her but can rejoice in knowing that one day we will meet again in the loving hands of our Lord and Savior who she was never ashamed to talk about.
As a tribute to Phyllis, we pray that those she loved and leave behind will seek comfort in knowing she is with Jesus. Her earnest prayer was that each of you will come to know the Lord in your own lives.
God bless,
Preston & Karen Lawrance

My condolences for your loss. I share in your mourning. I also share in your rejoicing that Phyllis is, in fact, walking in the Garden with Jesus. It has been an honor to know her and minister to her over the years she has been at the Hackett Hill Nursing Center.

Phyllis was always so kind to our family. She would write wonderful letters when we lived far from family and we still have a beautiful sweater and hat she knitted for our first born daughter. May you find comfort knowing Aunt Phyllis is at rest and joy in knowing how very much she was loved.

Dear Nana,
I am imagining you walking the streets of gold in heaven, you have now seen God's face and are in peace and joy always. I love you dearly,
