Phyllis you were an amazing part of my life. Mike, the girls and I can not thank you enough for all you have done for our family.

Your family is in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. May you feel God‘s peace that surpasses all understanding guarding your hearts and minds. We are so glad we had a chance to see you guys when we ran into you at Brianna‘s restaurant.
Phyllis was my first cousin and though we didn't see each often, I do know that she was very kind and had a deep faith. She reminded me of our grandmother, Philomena Scherrer who was a wonderful lady also. Condolences to her family. Mary Myers
Sending one thousand blessings for healing of your heart. God is so good. Sometimes we do not understand, but he is in charge. God’s tears flow down with ours, sometime waking us up so He can talk to us and calm a breaking heart. Our Phyllis has a new change of address. I know those who have gone before are waiting at the Gate of Eternity and will be running and shouting when they all see you. Miss you, John, Pat, and Chuck. You are all precious ones and you are all in my prayers.
