One Condolence for “THOMAS, Phyllis”

  1. Dennis & Joanne Nay says:

    We attended the beautiful service today.
    Bev did a great job with the eulogy. Sandra made a beautiful video tribute of Phyllis and Bruce & her family. Being neighbours for many years whenever we had a visit Phyllis talked non-stop about her kids and grandkids!
    Phyllis & Bruce were the best neighbours you couid ask for. Their yard was emaculate. They were perfectionist. Whenever I trimmed our spruce tree I’m out front yard she offered me advice.
    Phyllis and our mother grew up on farms in the Kipp, Coalhurst area. Phyllis told me how they went to dances together. They both shared a love for horses.
    I really missed the Thomases when they moved to St. Therese. Phyllis offered rhubarb to me every summer. I have some that I planted in our backyard from their rhubarb.
    RIP Phyllis & Bruce!! You both will be missed. I think of both of you often.
