Gary and Phyllis,
I was shocked to hear of the loss of your mother. She was a generous spirit and always fun to be around. I remember spending summers between your house and the Cline's on Koir Dr. My prayers are with both of you and your families during this sad time.

Gary and Phyllis, I am so sorry, sad, shocked to hear about your mom, she was such a wonderful person with such a huge heart! She was just like my own mom at one time, I was planning on coming to the calling hours thinking last night it was until 9, but after checking on line and finding out it is till 6 I will not be able to leave work and get there on time. I am soooo sorry about your loss, SHADE was such a awesome person and I will never forget her! All my prayers are with you and your family.
