This was such a beautiful tribute to a beautiful woman and friend for 45 years! She was blessed with a loving and abundant family. She cherished you all as she would often tell me. Not directly, as that wasn't her style, but by way of "updates" and lots and lots of photos:) You all fulfilled her life, each and every day.
Maryly was a dear friend. I looked up to her...especially how she navigated with Beauty and Grace the challenging twists and turns that came her way. Her Pride and Joy was her family. The children and grandchildren brightened her up life, beyond words. Maryly and John lovingly gave their children tools and wings to fly...the best gifts parents can give.
Maryly was one of my true friends. I will miss her dearly. I was shocked to hear this news today.
Thinking of dear Maryly. Remembering years past and her smiling face at family gatherings.
May she rest in peace.
Love to the Phillips family,
Bill & Gwen Griffin
