Lisa,
I know how close you are with your parents. I cannot image how you are feeling, just know that you’re friends at RHS are here for you. Anything I can do just ask.
We were heartbroken to hear that our Cousin Phyllis had passed. We loved her dearly. She will be remembered fondly for the smiles and fun we always had whenever she and Leo visited. Her cooking was out of this world. I can still hear my Dad saying, “Please make something like Mama used to make!!!” We share your loss. She was a wonderful lady.
