Nancy......Sorry for your loss

October 23, 2012

I will remember Phyllis as kind and witty and always willing to go with the flow. She was super proud of her daughter Nancy and all her accomplishments, She was also proud of her grandchildren and their successes. She will be horribly missed here on earth but her husband John is mixing a cocktail and dancing an Irish jig as he extends his arms to welcome his wife and best friend. My deepest sympathy is extended to Nancy, Rick and their family. With much love from stepdaughter Maurine, husband Ed, children Lisa, Dana, Amanda, Brendan, Megan, Justin and grandchildren Jessica, Chris, Mia, Emma, Grace and Luke.
