Still miss you Mom. I wear a piece of your jewelry at least once a week to keep you close ❤️
To all the Shumway kids from Richard and Millie,
We tried to send this yesterday but for some reason I don't think it went through which is probably because of my ineptitude with the computer. We send our condolences to all of you. Our relationship with Phyllis was one of approximately 63 years beginning just before she and Jerry were married. Her friendship was especially important to me (Millie) when Richard was overseas for 18 months. My day off from work was Friday and I often drove to N. Canton and spent the day with her. While she visited with me she would continue with her housewifely duties which included caring for a toddler (Lee) and a baby (Jay). She introduced me to feeding babies and changing diapers. Later, when we were in Florida, Richard being posted to Eglin Air Force base, she shipped me her maternity clothes when I was pregnant with Cheryl. I returned them to her in time for her next pregnancy which was to be John. After Jerry retired and they settle back in Akron we enjoyed visits and phone calls throughout those years until Jerry passed. After saying good-by at the Morningview house when she moved to Utah to be with her kids, and with her health failing, we somehow lost contact.
We have passed the obituary on to cousin, Gaynell Nary. Gay always asked if we had heard from Phyllis whenever we talked to her.
