Pam,Becky,P.J.,Steve and your families.....Barb and I would like to send our deepest condolences to all of you on the passing of Aunt Phil. She certainly was a special lady. Her calmness always impressed me as I grew up. The visits to mom mom and pop pop Taylor's house in Pocomoke and to Ocean City will forever be in my mind as some great times. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.......Terry and Barb
