You will always be remembered and missed mom. I'm happy you are free of that disease and are reunited with our other relatives up there. Watch over all of us, and never forget us. Love you mom.

We live in Seattle so we were only able to visit our sister-in-law Phyllis and Richard a handful of times since she and Richard were married. Phyllis was always a great hostess and welcomed our family to her home. Phyllis loved her life with Richard, fishing and boating on the lake. She had a big heart and was always interested in our family life. During our visit last summer Phyllis loved just looking out at the lake. and chatting with us. She also cherished her many family pictures which she displayed nearby. We didnt know Phyllis as closely as we would have liked but we know that she was a great partner to Richard. In the time that we knew her we always sensed her inherent kindness.

It's been a while since I've seen Phyllis but she was such a huge part of our lives. Her pain is gone and I know she is stilling by the lakeside sun tanning in heaven. Love you Mom #2!

Phyllis was such a caring, loving, friendly lady. We will miss her at church and Bible Study! She made the prayer shawls for our Stephen Ministry and was a very talented friend. Love and prayers to Richard and the rest of her family-
