My impression of Phoebe, since our UP college days, was a woman of quiet strength with a warm loving heart. I always enjoyed my moments with her and she will be sorely missed. My sincere condolences and prayers that Phoebe's family, her friends, and UP sorority sisters find strength though mourning her loss.

To dearest Phoebe, I am so saddened and shocked to hear about your departure. May the good Lord welcome you into His Paradise. I will always fondly remember you and the fun we had in college and in the few visits I had in New York. I will pray for you as well as for your family to cope in these times of grief.
So long my friend until we meet again, somewhere, some day. May you rest in peace. Amen.

Dear Michael Beau, Dorianne and Gwen,
Upon learning that your dearest mother passed away, my eyes started welling. I am one of her classmates from high school for four long, memorable and fruitful years. Your Mom, Phoebe, was a well-rounded student: editor-in-chief of the school paper, president of the student government, great girl scout leader, orator, debater, writer and leader. She graduated as the class salutatorian of over 400 graduates. She earned numerous awards and I always wondered how she balanced her time and still accomplished everything with great success and ease. Your Mother is one of a kind. She will be really missed!
Holy Father, our Lord Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary, welcome your daughter to your Kingdom. She was a great servant when she was here on earth and she deserves to be with you forever in Heaven for her Eternal life and happiness. AMEN.

Dear Michael Beau, Dorianne, Gwen and your families and to Phoebe's sisters,
You may not know us or remember us but we knew your dearest Mom / Sister, Phoebe. We shared 4 years of high school memories together. It was indeed a shock to learn that she has gone ahead. We will always cherish those memories. She will always be remembered.
May God in tenderness impart Courage and Comfort unto your hearts. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all in this difficult time.
"O God, You accompany us on our life journey. Welcome Phoebe into your loving embrace. In your mercy may she dwell in your Divine Light of everlasting life. Amen"

When I met Dorianne's mother she immediately she made me feel loved and accepted. She had a special way about her. After only a few conversations we were hugging and dancing together and she told me we were all family now. Her personality was magnetic. She expressed to me her love and devotion for her children. She was a proud mother and only wanted to see her children happy. I was very lucky to have met her and will continue to be inspired by her spirit. Her beautiful personality will continue on through her daughters who share the same qualities.
