    Dear Aunt Suz; Uncle Doug and Uncle Jim, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved sister. Aunt Phyll was so special to so many..in fact I hope the funeral home is very big and can accomodate a large crowd, as I know she was loved by so many people. When I think of her, I think: Excellent Aunt~Awesome Nurse~Wonderful Person. She always seemed to be in the center of everything, arranging and organizing and making things easier for everyone. I thank God for giving her the energy and the heart to be able to do so much, for so many. She has made my life easier on a number of occasions and for that I am eternally grateful. She was dearly loved and will be sorely missed. Please extend my condolences to her children. I found comfort in knowing that they took tender loving care of her. May God bless you and grant you peace.
    Love,
    Lisa
