Dennis, Kim, Cindy and families--So sorry to hear about Phyllis. I worked with her at the bank 30 some years ago. She was always such a sweet person. I can only imagine your pain, but I know she is looking down on you all and smiling that beautiful smile of hers. My deepest sympathy to all of you. MONA HARWERTH--New Athens, IL

Dennis, I went to school with Phyllis. In fact I talked to her ten years ago. We went to Park and East Side. Knew each other before we went to grade school. We used to go down to McDonald's when you worked there! I am so sorry for your loss. God be with you.
