  1. Phyllis and I were married for 10 years. I knew her most of my life before we got married. She loved to joke around and act crazy sometimes. We had a good marriage but health problems took its toll on both of us and we had to go seperate ways. I think God that we remained friends,talked to each other once or twice a week and even had dinner together sometimes. She fought a long hard battle of cancer for almost 11 years. But she always had a smile when I saw her. Rest in peace Phyllis your battles are over now and you are finally at peace with God. We will meet again one day on those golden shores of Heaven !

  2. Words can’t describe the heartache! She was. The best aunt!!! And I miss her terribly. I will always. Love her!! I miss u aunt Phyllis!!!! (Tracy)

  4. As we make our journey through this life, death is our final battle. Whenever I am troubled, & lost in deep despair, I bundle all my troubles up & go to God in prayer. I tell him I am heartsick & lost & lonely, too, That my mind is deeply burdened & I dont know what to do But I know he loves me & I humbly ask if in his love hell calm my heart, for me& then I just keep quiet & think, only thoughts of peace & if I abide in stillness my restless murmurings cease. (Ps.3418) (John 316) Due to the ramson sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we know that we have the hope of seeing our loved ones once again. The Bible gives us hope, over & over again. Jesus said I am the resurrection, & the life. He that exercises faith in me, though he dies, will come to life again. (John 1125) Jesus also said I am the vine & my Father is the cultivator. (John 151) The Bibles tells us that there will be no more tears, no pain, or sickness & death will be no more. (Rev. 213,4) What a wonderful time, we can look forward to, seeing our loved ones once again

  5. This is my aunt but she was more of my mama than my aunt. I miss her so much but I find comfort in knowing she is free from pain n suffering now. All I have now is memories and pictures. And its hard knowing I will never see her face or hear her voice again. I love you so much mama n u are on my mind and in my heart always n forever.
