What a pleasant surprise to see her smiling face this morning. I will always remember her fondly. She was especially kind to me when I was a 17 year old replacing her at Schmidt’s Store in Westland. Gone but not forgotten.

Sympathy to Phyllis' family,
I met your Mom when she started coming to Houston Methodist Church. She would sit with my Mother and me. She was a lovely lady whom we liked very much.
I kept in touch with her after she moved but hadn't talked to her recently. You are in my prayers.
