I got to know Philly through my Aunt Hilda, who is a resident at Linn. Philly was always smiling and loved to sit with my Aunt and talk. I even had the pleasure of taking her down to Bingo! She said how much she loved it. I am so sorry your loss and I am so happy I was able to have met her.

To Philly's family: I just saw Philly last Monday just before she ate lunch. I was her friend's CG. she entered eternity last year July 16. I was trying to get them together, managed to get her friend's picture and wedding picture and put it together so Philly had the benefit up to 7-27. I was happy to come see Philly and she would always remember my name. She was happy to have the visit, brought to mind her dear friend for 70 years. Philly was ready to go home. It was my honor/privilege to know Philly through her dear friend.
Love/peace, will remember Philly always. Lorraine

It was such an honor and pleasure having "Philly" as our friend. We met Philly in October 2012 when our Aunt Hilda was admitted to Linn Healthcare. We have grown very fond of Philly and looked forward to our visits with her. We will miss her very much. She became a part of our "extended family". Philly, we love you and will never forget you.
