“Our deepest heartfelt sympathy to this beloved family on their loss. Phoebe was a good mother, good grandmother and a good friend to many. She loved driving the bus for the Prince George’s School Board – Clinton Bus lot. She had many friends there. I will miss her phone calls & just chit chatting! God Bless Rixie, Ruth, John Mark, Robin, their families, and her sister Alma during their bereavement. You are in our thoughts and prayers each day. Love, Margaret, Dad, & Granddaddy too. “
“With one deep breath I released my grip on you. My arms lifted in bloom and like glittering dust floating in the sun I gently blew your spirit towards home and mine towards peace. Heartfelt thoughts are with Rixie and Robin and the family during this time.”
