"Janice M HIll-Gardner Relation to Deceased: close friend Your Mom will always hold a special place in my heart. I have fond memories of our many trips to NYC and how much fun we had! She loved life and enjoyed traveling with all of the girls. She had so much strength through the many obstacles she faced. Mom - you are a one in a miilion, we will miss you xox The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth. Free at last, the butterfly glides to heights unknown before. So do our loved ones find a beautiful release as, earthbound no more, they leave our sight and joyfully rise to a garden of matchless beauty, a place of light and peace. -Evelyn Phillips"
