So sorry to hear of your loss. It was always wonderful to have Phyllis at our Sedar or Rosh Hashana table. She will always be remembered fondly in our house as "Robyn's Mom" which it always said on her placecard.

Phyllis is gone ... my heart is heavy. She had become a vital part of my life in Windsor when I moved to SK in May. I am grateful for the friendship we had.

My condolences to Dana & Robyn for the loss of your mother. She was a cherished friend to my mother Madeleine and the entire Mclaughlin family. I remember many good times, open discussions and much laughter. The laughter may be gone but the good memories will never fade.

Dana, Robyn and everyone,

I can't imagine a world without Phyllis. Although our families have drifted over the years, I can't help but think of Phyllis with fondness. I don't know who I would be now without the influence of your mother on me at such an important time of my own life.

Although I am in Australia, my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I am real sorry to hear about Phyllis. I worked with Phyllis at the City of Windsor some 20 years ago. We were both Caseworkers in the Rest Home Unit, at that time. Phyllis and I both purchased Rest Homes and would sometimes communicate with each other for ideas. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family members during this sad time. Glenn Patrick

Dear Dana, Robyn and your families,

My heart breaks for you; Mom should not have gone so soon. A wonderful woman, she lived in her love of her girls and grandchildren. Always looking forward to the next visit, laughing at how crowded it would be, but loving the thought of it starting yet again.

I loved her too. Only wish we had met sooner. Her laughter was from the heart, her passions unbreakable, her caring about others never-ending. She loved life, wanting each day to be the best it could be yet laughing again knowing when it was beyond her control. I’ll miss our chats, they always ended in laughter, either joking about something that didn’t go so well, or thrilled that something had gone so very well.

Keep her in your hearts, I know I will.
