So many memories that go back so many years. She babysat me and my siblings. Over all these years she was always just a phone call away. I just needed to be certain I had a lot of time because she loved to talk. Always wanted to know how everyone was and what they were doing. She was so proud of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was never short on photos or updates. We spent lots of time sewing and planning the next project. She loved her quilts and was probably my biggest fan of all the things I made. She was family but also a good friend and will be dearly missed.
My Aunt Phyllis, always a phone call away.
Her and I both loved to chat, our conversations would last forever!
Her and Norman were always so inviting to Mike and I.
You will be missed so very much auntie, I love you!
Tina Renee Burgwald named after my cousin Deena 😂, you and mom are hilarious for that
