To the family, my heart aches for all of you. Phyllis was very special to all of us. The memories I have of all of you visiting in Michigan, left us with many memories. Shopping with your mother was a stitch. She had me laughing the entire time. Those were the kind of memories that I have of her and I know you do too. Please know that we are praying for all of you to find some peace during this difficult time. Love you all!
