To Angie and the entire Kissell Clan: My most heartfelt condolences on the loss of Phyllis. I was deeply shocked and saddened to hear the news and did not know she was suffering from dementia. Once when Phyllis was visiting Angie in NYC, they both took a train to visit me in NJ. Was Linda with you also, Angie? Since I was born in Waltonville and also felt very close to my Aunt Pearl, I spent a lot of time with my cousins Harry, Betty Ann, Billy and Phyllis. Phyllis was so cute and pretty. I would take the bus to Decatur to spend a week with the Myers family, and Harry and/or Betty were always spending the summer down on the farm. I enjoyed reading your mother's obituary, Angie. I also met all the Aldermans one time in Alaska .It was the year Hannah joined the family. Angie, I don't have your address or phone number but I am still in NJ, just not in Long Valley. I read your postings on Facebook, In fact, that's how I learned about this. Then Verner let me know. Verner is my brother for you who are wondering where I fit in the family. My dad, Verner Sr., was Pearl's youngest brother. Sorry I'm making this so long. Wish I could have been with you this weekend. My sympathy being sent with lots of love to you all. Signed Doris Helen, but known as Dee.
My condolences to my dear friend Angie and her family. I had the pleasure of meeting her Mom when she brought her to my home for a visit. We reminisced about her daughter Shelly and my sister Paula when they were cheerleaders in high school.
Ms. Kissel will be dearly missed. May she rest in heavenly peace and may God be with the the family during this difficult time.
