Mrs Schmidt, and she would correct me to say call me Phyllis, will always be one of my moms growing up. Sharing your family with me, taking me to you cottage, driving me to games, and letting me crash the weekend. I never felt anything less then welcomed. Thank you for making me part of your life and being a big part of mine . My heart and prayers goes out to you Travis and Donna and the rest of your family.

Donna and family. So sorry to hear about your Mom passing away. Fondly remembering being at your place in Kitchener dropping Laura off or picking her up. Your Mom always made me feel welcome. Will be thinking of your family as they go through this difficult time. Joan Blackbour

My sincere condolences to your family. I have good memories of when Phyllis, Carol Shantz and I (among others) took a Hospice Course together. We also celebrated at the Hoffman and Shantz cottages. Good Memories!

I am saddened to learn of Phyllis’ death. We were close friends growing up and spending time with Phyllis at the Hoffman farm was always a delight for me as a city girl. Though as adults we grew apart, I have many good memories from our friendship. Sincere condolences to all the family.
