"My family and our friend. We just saw Phyllis a few days ago, at the doctor's office in passing, the normal conversation, how are you, how is the family. Friendly and happy talk. We can never know what the next day is bringing, and this was so very unexpected. Our love and prayers go out to the family. The loss of a mother, sister, child. Villa and Billy Joe, we love you and if there is anything we can do to help, please don't think a second thought about calling on us. Brad, we know how you will miss your mother, and long to speak with her just one more time. She was proud of you, and loved you with every fiber of herself. Always know that, and it will help carry you through. Joey and Angie, the loss Sis created a void that nobody else can fill. Just think of her and she will be there.....in memories of your years growing and learning. To you and to Brad, again, if there is anything you need, please don't hesitate to let us know. Olean used to say that we will never be asked to bear anything we can't handle. We can do all thought Christ, who strengthens us.....even in the dark times. We love you all."
