On behalf of my mother, Sylvia Weisberg, and myself, we express our heartfelt condolences on Phyllis's passing. She and my mother were lifelong friends, and my mother lit a candle and said a personal goodbye to Phyllis this morning. My mother will miss her dearly.

Dear Cohen Family,

Sorry to hear about the passing of Aunt Phyllis. This is all to fresh for me so I know how all you feel.

No matter how old they are and how sick they become, it still isn't easy losing our love ones.
