Aunt Phyllis was a role model for me. She held herself to high standards and was a quality woman. I have many fond memories from both, my childhood and as an adult, spending time with Aunt Phyllis. She was someone I could talk to about anything and she always had good advice. I will miss her, but cherish those memories.
My grandma was such a special person to have in my life and I am thankful I was able to spend these last 24 years with her. My sister and I used to have sleepovers at her house all the time and she would take us bowling and mini golfing for something fun to do. I always had a blast when we went on these outings. She always came up with the best ideas on fun stuff to do when my sister and I stayed at her house. She was also an amazing cook and always made the best meals when we were at her house or when she came over for the holidays. She had such an amazing and sweet personality, always made me laugh and was super enjoyable to be around.
