I know this comes quite a few years late, and I am not very great with words. My Grandmother was the most loving caring person in the world and there has not been a day that goes by I dont think about her loving personality. She was always helpful with many things while growing up but not only that but when we were all grown up and had kids of our own she was still the very same person to all her great grandchildren. I miss her so much. I love you grandma.

I will always remember Phylis just like it was yesterday. So generous with her time and gentle in her ways. I hope that she is resting easy and reading her favorite book.
