An amazing and funny lady. Her energy and positive demeanor was a joy to be around. One of Cliffie's favorite Aunts. Zach and I are sorry for your loss. I believe she is embracing heaven and bringing a chuckle to all there.

Dear Phyllis & Bob, So sorry to hear of your Mom's death. We just found out today (11-20-12), we would have certainly paid our respects had we known. She had called us in September and said she was coming to visit us! I know its hard to understand why our loved ones are taken away from us, but take comfort in knowing you were a special part of a well-lived life. She loved you and your families very much.
With deepest sympathy, Jo Ann & Ron Ayres

Dear Phyllis and Family,

I am saddened to hear of the loss of your mother Ginny, but happy to hear of her long wonderful life!! I remember her so fondly when she came into our lives after marrying Christian (my grandfather). She actually got my my first job at the pharmacy. She had a terrific sense of humor and loved to relay stories of her grandchildren (I often felt like I knew them personally). I am sure Ginny will be missed by all of her friends at Lutheran Knolls.

With very fond memories,
Donna (Miner) Zarycranski

I too remember Ginny's wonderful sense of humor, she was funny, and always greeted others with a big smile. I will always treasure her generous compliments when she spoke of my husband and children! Ginny, I have been reminded of a life lesson through your passing. Don't take several months to reply to a note from a special person. I am hoping Ginny received my letter this past fall. Phyllis, Bob and family, we are sorry for your loss, and wish you fond memories of your mom.

It is really a heart breaking incident for me, when I heard that this beautiful lady with good heart has left this world and went to serve god. When I first joined in paper help company as trainee she is the one who taught me the tips and tricks in writing down good and sensible essays.
