Instead of flowers, donations may be made to Hospice through the Mercy Foundation in Phyllis’s honor. The family plans to hold a celebration of life later.
Phyliss was a special cousin that cared for me as a new born, we shared a lasting bond. She had a dear heart of gold that was so very caring. May I add , she worked so hard on our family history. Her caring soul has carried her to a much better place, our family wlll hopefully all have a large reunion once again.
I concur what Jim said. She also cared for me, Charlie and Rich when we were small. She’s always been a caring person with a great smile to go along with it. I will miss talking and seeing her. To Dick, Rick and Terri—-take time to grieve, but always remember the good times and talk to each other about her. Love, Ann
