Philomena was a very wise lady. Jackie would quote her and, I, being Jackie's friend think about Philomena's words. She was right!
Thank you Philomena. We will all miss you.

Loved Dogs!

Philomena reached out to me as I was joining the family by marrying her granddaughter Jennifer Brown. She took the extra step to help me feel welcome and belong to my newly extended family. Thank you Philomena. GodSpeed.

My great-grandma was very funny, I remember she always made me laugh when I was over. The jokes weren't what you would call clean but they were always funny. She was a great role model and will be sorely missed in my family.

The kids and I will dearly miss our grandmother and great-grandmother. We loved to visit with her, we always ended up laughing. The generous and positive way she always treated other people set a wonderful example for me and my kids.

Grandma Phil was the best. She never tried to hide her inner thoughts. She always told it like it was. She has such a big heart, I loved her dearly.
