Dear Deirdre and family,
I first met Phyllis and your dad when I came to Bratenahl and they had my parents and me over to their beautiful home. Phyllis was always the consummate entertainer, giving her all to so many worthy causes. Hers was a life well lived. You have our thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies.
