Dear Phil, PJ, and family:

We were deeply saddened to hear about your loss. Ryan and I lost our mother as well on December 26th, and when we learned of your mother's passing today we were in shock. Your mother/grandmother was an amazing woman and I fondly remember many conversations with her this past year at baseball and then football games as well. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Sal, Ant & Phil,
I am so sorry to hear about Phyllis Jean. She was one of the nicest, sweetest, most caring, people that I have ever met. Life is too short, and 64 years old is far too soon to move on. I feel so bad for all of you guys, I wish I could do something to change the situation... But, that is the way life is. I haven't seen her for years, yet, I think about her even now from time to time. She was a great person to have known, and someone that you would never forget. I wish the best for all you guys during this very tough time. Take care, and I hope to see you soon. ML

I was so sad to learn of your mom's passing. I don't know that I've ever seen a mom that loved her boys so much and treated their friends as if they were hers too. She genuinely loved everyone blessed to have known her. My prayers are with you and your family and may God bless you and comfort you during this time.
Love you guys,

I had lived on Euclid Street not to far from Phyllis. On many occasion, we would walk to Mark Twain School and I truly enjoyed our conversations. One thing that I particularly remember about Phyllis, was the fact that she could throw a baseball further than any guy I knew. My condolences to the family.
