Our sincere sympathy on the passing of your Mother. Having been blessed to work with her for a few years, I enjoyed her laughter, her love of life and the great adoration she had for her boys.

May the many wonderful and happy memories bring you peace and strength in the coming months.

Phillip and family,
You're very lucky to have had your mother for so long. When God took her home, she left you behind, but you had many years to know how much she loved you all.
