Mrs. Parente,
I'm sure you will not remember me, but many years ago we volunteered together at Kent Hospital; I was a "Volunteen" and I reported to you every Saturday at the Information Desk. I always looked up to you and admired you, and I clearly remember how very proud you were of your children, and loved telling us girls all about them and their accomplishments. To you, and your entire family, my deepest condolences on the loss of Phyllis. May she fly high on angels wings, and may fond memories serve to comfort you at this difficult time and in the days ahead. Rest assured, you are in my prayers.

My heart breaks over the loss of my very, very dear friend. We've laughed, we've cried, we've never had a cross word with each other, never had a spat. We mostly just laughed! She was my partner in crime. We would often call each other at the same time, or think the same thoughts and say them at the same time. I was blessed to have such a wonderful friend. I will always love you my Fifi!
