Sad to here about your loved one.
Hi All,
Phyllis 'Ma' will be remembered dearly by all who knew her. She was a very special lady with a great attitude toward life that she shared with all she met. She loved her boys very much and will be smiling on all of you and your families from above. She will continue to care for all of you in ways that only she can and you will notice things that happen in your every day lives and will realize that 'Ma' must be doing this because she is the only one that would have done something like that in the first place. Please continue to follow the wonderful example that she left you by living your lives as she did. God, Family, and then everything else. She will be sadly missed, but I will smile when I think of her now in Paradise - no longer in pain and being able to do all things she could no longer do her on earth. Love and Hugs for all of you!!!
