Hi Grandma i miss you so much. God be with you. Love you.
Worked with her at Baldwin. She was sweet and a very hard worker. So sorry for your loss.
Phillips family you are on my thoughts and prayers , your Mom was a wonderful woman with a smile to match. I was lucky enough to see her Saturday at Hy-Vee I ask her if she remembers me, yes you’re Cindy OConnell ( she always called me that) God received a wonderful angle.
Emma was a lovely, sweet person. I had no idea she worked for Quincy Schools for 30 years. My thoughts to the family. I know she will be missed.
Greg and Kathy: Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sorrow.
I was so sorry to hear about Aunt Emma passing, and I am so sorry for all my family members. God bless!
Dear Phillips Family, I spoke to your mother last summer, I knew her but she didn’t know me. I asked her I went to school at St. Rose with two of her children, Juanita and Christina, and she couldn’t hardly believe I remembered you two since it been 50 years ago, But we talked about 15 min, she said it was very nice of me to remember her but also her children. Juanita, you were one year ahead of me, I still go to St. Rose every Sunday from St. Louis, but please know, I will remember your dear mothers soul in my prayers. God bless you all. Paul
