Phyllis,
I am sorry to hear about Easter. I still remember as a child, growing up next door to you guys. She was really a remarkable lady and a joy to talk too. I know losing a parent isn't easy but just remember she is in a better place. My prayers are with you, John and your family.

Mrs. Phyllis: The apple never falls far from the tree. Your mothers kind, caring, thoughtful, giving heart beats today inside you. You pass on that same attitude to everybody you come in contact with, and with that, your mothers spirit. Your family is blessed and we are glad our lives have been touched by both of you. Thank you.
