Print Obituary & Condolences
I am so fortunate to know and be loved by you Bob and Phyllis for 50 years now. I may have never known Jesus if it weren’t for you. Through you both I learned what’s good on earth also. Heaven is home for her now and I am absolutely sure it’s a better place because of her being there… I can hear her giggle now.
My heart goes out to Bruce, Kevin and the family. May Peace, Love and Joy abound.
Thoughts and prayers for the family during this difficult time. May your memories and the love of family & friends surround you and give you peace and comfort in the days to come.
Our deepest sympathy in the loss of your precious Phyllis. She truly was a beautiful lady inside and out. We are so thankful for the wonderful memories we have of her. May God give you peace and strength for the days ahead. We so rejoice in seeing her again.
Praying for friends to comfort you, faith to uphold you, and loving memories of her to fill and heal your hearts.
Thinking about you all.
