Today is a sad day, any time we lose a wonderful part of our family there is no joy, we all have a heavy heart and we think about how are we going to go on but as long as we are alive and we talk about her, she will never be gone. I have many happy memories of my Aunt and I am grateful that my Uncle made her his wife 58 years ago. I couldn't wait to come to Chicago and see Aunt Phyllis and Uncle Babe, we ate a lot of great food at their house and I will miss her cooking. She had a awesome sense of humor and a laugh that was memorable. I love you all, you are in my thoughts and prayers that God will comfort you in your time of loss. God bless and keep you all.
