Mecedes, Joe and family,

We are deeply saddened that we were unable to pay our respects. Unfortunately, we found out too late.

The next time we go to Chicago Joe's we will toast to you and "Mom". That is where we met Phyliss.

Please accept our deepest sympathies.

Love,

To Constance and the entire Delgado Family:

I did not know you mothers last name until to late and apologize for this having the opportunity of seeing Connie introduce her proudly to me when she came.In 1997 I lost my own mother and even today i miss her so much a special part of my heart is always hers and as I look to the sky and gaze I enjoy our secret song somewhere over the rainbow as she and your mother are now home.Her entrance into heaven is guaranteed for she preceded the anniversary of Saint Pope John Paul II and his spirit shall fill your hearts at this time as I reflect how great of a mother she must have been since I believe Connie is living proof of great mothers taught by great mothers and protected by the greatest mother of all Most Blessed Virgin Mary our Queen of Heaven and thy Universe.Each of you should be proud for thy gift she gave you life.Having left texas and coming here was your mothers way to say goodbye to a family she loved so dear.Viya com Dios-Sir Liam

AUNTIE PHYLLIS

Ms. Andrea Mb. Negrete

YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY AUNT

Yesterdays memories I hear your voice speaking to me forever in my heart.
I remember us chit chatting and laughing on the phone the day you visited my brother Tony in his home.
You’re laughing giggles that never change “oh so unique”, that very moment we left our troubles behind and celebrated our here and now, our life we lived.
The sound of your soothed voice spoke from your heart you reminisced my childhood memories you left me with time I never forgot. I will always remember your smile imprinted in my eyes, your kindness caring and respect you had for me lyrics my heart.
I said, I remember when I visited your home – you were always so busy, a devoted mom with so many kids who rampage your home, a devoted wife to an old fashion man who kept you aflow. You kept your family bonded by compassion and love.
A woman with undeniably strength a strong survivor I admired, you will always be my aunt even in death - nothing will ever break our family ties apart.
I said, Auntie Phyllis you deserve with graciousness all that you want, fly away butterfly show the beauty of the woman you are.
You thank me for understanding, how could I not – your happiness sang to me with giggling songs from your heart. Yet time called upon you physically to let your pain go free from your body. You were called to be an angel wherever your wings take you spiritually. I know you will hear my prayers I truly believe in the spirit world, thanking you for being a sincere aunt in my life for all the memories of you I treasure.
I love you auntie Phyllis

Forever your niece
Ms, Andrea Mb. Negrete

I went to Holy Innocents with Cynthia. I remember Phyllis from my many visits to your home. Your mom was very caring, loving and made everyone feel at home. My thoughts and prayers to your entire family.

Phyllis even though we only socialized few years you always said something to lift me up from whatever situation I was going through. When I was going through things in my life I would always find a reason to see you so I could get some advice from you. Thank U for never judging me. You taught us a lot by being such a good person. Oh yea I’ll always remember that screw I found in your mashed potatoes I Love you! You will be missed but not forgotten.
