Edie - I can't possibly relate to losing a mother but only to losing those close to me. I lost my grandmother, grandfather and an aunt to Cancer and understand the tremendous pain that comes with that experience. I want you to know that you and your family will get through this together. Lean on each other and lean on your friends & co-workers because that is why we are here.
I am thinking of you and have been praying for your family. Jill

Phyllis, You've left a big hole in our family. I could always count on you to get crazy with me at any family function. You were always ready to have fun.
You made us laugh and that was a gift. We all need to laugh more, espeically in these trying times in our country. But you have moved from all of the world problems into a place of peace and praise. I am sure you would tell us all not to grieve for you because you are in a better place. Now you have all the answers to all of our questions. I am sure you would share them with us if you could, but we must all finish our walks just as you did. We will someday join you and we will have the BEST cousin reunion ever. You keep dancing up there and we will keep dancing down here until we dance again together. We miss you and will always love you. Thanks for being my cousin. You will always be a highlight in my journey of life. Tell all of our reatives hello and give my dad a big hug and kiss. I miss hime so much. As you set at the feet of Jesus please thank Him for being with our family over so many years. He has truly blessed us and you were one of his blessings to us. See you againg someday. Pam

Phyllis, I remember how you used to call me Nanny Goat, but you always meant it in a fun loving way. You were so fun to be around and the life of the party, making everyone laugh. I'll miss you deeply and think of you often, not how I last saw you, but how I choose to remember you...full of fun, with a zest for life, and a passion for family. I love you! Get the party started until we'll all together again!
Nancy
