I will never get used to not having you here to talk with me, laugh with me and all of the very special moments we shared with each other. The days have gotten harder and missing you has become a constant reminder of how much you were a part of my daily life. I love and miss you, Mom, and I look forward to the time we can once again be together.

Phyllis was a gem and she will be sorely missed by everyone on Garden floor. She sat behind the desk nearly every night visiting and keeping us all in line. I will miss our cheeseburger dates and all of our talks. It was a joy to have her and her family on the floor.

We love you Gram! May you rest in peace for eternity.
