Rodney, steven and Benna My heart has been heavy when I got word from penny that phyliss had passed away. She was a good friend in high school and we would have so much fun. We had a blast when she came to our class reunion and danced the night away. Whenever we would see each other it was as if we had just been together the day before. You kids and her grandkids and her great grandkids was her pride. Now you have to stay close and show her she did such a good job raising her family. She was a wonderful person and she made me better having her for a friend. I am sorry for the pain you are going through but she will always watch over you. Trust me on that. love to you all peggy kula

Rodney, Steven,and Benna, so sorry to hear about the passing of your mom, When I lived in Werton your mom and I were very close friends. She and I would shop till we dropped, dragging Rodney and my son Ronnie McClain through all the stores….Lots of fun memories of her and you kids.She will be missed!
Benna and family: You don’t personally know me – I work w/your mother-in-law & I had the great pleasure of meeting your mom a few years ago when my mom had surgery; she would come to take care of her. My sister was very ill w/bone cancer at the time; you’re mom told us of her own condition & yet, she would always listen to my mom – never tried to sugar-coat the issue, but made sure there would be a positive attitude before she lift. She did a good job uplifting my own mom’s spirit & we always enjoyed talking w/her. I’m so sorry for your loss and I do feel your pain; losing a loved 1 truly sucks but on the positive side: She’s watching over all of you & will be waiting…to greet you again! and thank God that he blessed you w/a wonderful woman you could call MOM.
Benna, So very sorry to hear of your loss. Your Mom was a very special lady, always a beautiful smile and positive attitude! She would often talk about her family with such love. I will always remember that beautiful smile……
Rodney & Judy, we are so sorry for your lose. Our prayers to you and your family. Love Cris, Dan & Sarah
