From an early age my grandmother always helped to raise me. With her passing I have not only lost my grandmother, but my biggest fan. I will forever miss the woman who helped shaped me into the person I am today and supported me throughout all times, good and bad. Thank you for everything that you have ever done for me and I will see you again one day. I love you Mimi.

Aunt Phyl was always so loving, caring, and nurturing. She meant so much to me and was always my favorite Aunt. I loved her so much and she is going to be dearly missed. There is a hole in my heart now. No words can describe how much she is going to be missed. I love you both Carrie and Mark.

Mark and Carrie, there are no words that will help us survive the loss. Aunt Phyl had a heart that was full of love. I will miss our weekly phone visits, where we would catch up on our week gone by. Aunt Phyl always had the time to "REALLY" listen to me ( in my younger years of growing up), when no one else had the time. Then she would offer words of advice. She was so caring, loving and nurturing. I know this is where I'm suppose to write a short message...Aunt Phyl would laugh at me right now because she would know that simple, short words are missing. Jerry Freeman and his family asked me to send their love and prayers for you. Chad and family share their prayers during this time of healing. Love always, Brenda Brock Stewart

Mark and Carrie,
Your mother was a very special person---sweet, kind and loving. We remember sharing good times with her at many ball games, church and other events in which we shared a common interest. May she rest in peace with our Lord. Fondly,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all . Phyllis was a very special person who graced the life of everyone she touched with love and compassion. She was so important in my life and gave so much to me especially when I was in law school and my father was so ill. She will always be in a special place in my heart. I know she is now with God and at Peace.
