Dearest Phyllis :
It was great knowing you as a child
as you were like a real mother to me
when I came over to play , you always
had a smile on your face and plenty of
cookies and milk for we kids .
You taught us many things about people and living in this world and surely we should have listened closer to your words of wisdom .
We will miss you eternally ,
love always ,
Dave Terruli
I am very sad at the loss of Phyllis. She was the most kind and loving person I ever had the pleasure of knowing. I am very sorry for your loss but I know she is looking down on us right now and smiling and wanting us to smile for the time we had with her. I loved her dearly and she loved me and my kids very much which I will never forget.
Mom. It’s been less than a month since your Spirit soared and you moved on to the eternal presence of the Master Builder. You are missed Mom. I have an urge to call you everday….but then I remember……………….
You were the best Mother anyone could ask for. Loving, giving, kind, selfless, gentle, joyful, caring. I love you Mom
Your ever-grateful Son – Wayne ‘Junior’
My sincere condolences on the passing of your Mom. I often reminisce of her kindness, statliness, and daily gratitude.
She was an inspiration to me.
Fondly,

We are sorry for your loss due to your Mom’s passing. She was, and still is a real sweetheart. I understand that if your loved one has gone to be with Jesus, and if you have Jesus in your heart, they are not very far away, are they? Just know that you and your family are in our prayers, and if we can help you through this time in any way, just let us know. Love, Michael & Judy
