I'm sorry I wasn't able to attend Phyllis' funeral today. While funerals are in many ways sad occasions, they are for me sometimes happy occasions because I get to see many relatives that I don't often see and remember the good times had in the past. I know the family will miss Phyllis and I will have you all in my thoughts.
