Dear Ralph and family,
We loved Phyllis very much.
Phyllis was a truly wonderful friend and neighbor to my mother.
You, Phyllis and my parents made a great foursome. There was always so much fun and laughter when The
McCrackens and the Sweeneys got together - just a sprint across the driveway at Gorham Lane!
We remember what a beautiful wife and mother she always was. She was one the sweetest ladies I ever had the pleasure of meeting. Phyllis was part of The Greatest Generation - they don't ladies like Phyllis anymore.
We love you. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers. Phyllis is forever in our hearts.
Love, Debbie and Steve Leary and family
