"Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in the family. Aunt Phoebe was like a second mother to me and I remember all of the times that I spent out at the farm and also go to the family get togethers. I also would bring Mom over to Canton and visit and we would go out to lunch after I moved to Indianapolis. She was greatly loved."
"So sorry for your loss. You'll miss her forever. I didn't realize she was so much younger than my mom. "
