I will always remember visiting as a young girl and thinking what a great mom Aunt Phyllis was. Funny she could impress me at such a young age! No one loves you like your mother does. I'm sure she will be greatly missed! Love to all!

I always had such fond memories of my Aunt Phyllis. She loved children and when I had my own two little boys, she fussed over them quite a lot. One thing that I do know about my Aunt Phyllis, she was very generous and very soft spoken. My family has not been physically around her for a number of years, but she had always been in our heart and prayers. We love you Aunt Phyllis and to Mike and Michelle and their family, you are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you all. God Bless you all.

There's magic in a Mother's touch, and sunshine in her smile. There's love in everything she does to make our lives worthwhile. We can find both hope and courage just by looking in her eyes. Her laughter is a source of joy, her works are warm and wise. There is a kindness and compassion to be found in her embrace. Take time to reflect on those times she made you feel so special! She will be missed by many.
