So sorry to read about the death of Phyllis. I met her and Galen at Our Lady of the River Church in LeClaire, IA.
She was a very talented lady and I have a few Christmas items she made. It was always a pleasure to visit with her and experience her warm smile. My prayers, thoughts, and heartfelt sympathy are with you all.

Debbie, Sandy, Todd, Shawn and families, so very sorry to hear of your mom´s passing. She was such a special and wonderful Lady! She will always have a special place in my heart as well as your dad! I do not think either of them ever met a person they did not welcome into their hearts or home! I am thinking of you all, you are in my thoughts and prayers. This will be a sad place, without them. Rest in Peace sweet Phyllis. Your hugs always did the trick. Praying for all.
Sincerely,
