Dear Friends & Family, Two weeks ago we got the news that Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was the night before Eamon was going back to London and we all had very heavy hearts. To see a woman who is so strong and with a heart of gold have to get such a diagnosis...it would break your heart. Although, through our night together as a family we quickly realized that not only is she a fighter, but we have a tremendous amount of love in our "little" family that we could overcome this little "bump in the road". RIght away Mom made us all promise to share the news. She wants to make sure that any woman that hasn't gotten a mammogram will...she wants to raise the level of awareness for cancer prevention. Amazingly for us Mom has the most amazing doctor, Dr. Donna Marie Manasseh, and she even came to their house and spent a few hours going over all of the details of what would lie ahead. The company that we work for, William Raveis Real Estate, also gives a portion of all of the commissions to breast cancer research and care, and as Bill Raveis called Mom last Sunday morning we really knew that we had a full team behind us in this fight. Mom has been so touched by the amount of love, care, kindness & support that she has felt in the last week or so since her diagnosis. She has received numerous calls, mass cards, e-mails, messages, novenas plus an abundous of loving thoughts! She truly is an amazing woman and touches nearly every person she meets! She is especially loved by her three grandchildren, Bridget, Ronan & Fearghus. They love their Granny so much and will kiss all of the booboos goodbye! She'll be getting lots of love, hugs and kisses from them today and always. Phyllis' Friends gives us a way to let everyone know what is going on as we move forward. It is a great way to share well wishes, thoughts, memories, & photos with her and all of us! Please feel free to post on here as she will be monitoring the web-site all the time :) Love Always, Denise, Dad, Kevin, Eamon, Bridget, Ronan & Fearghus xoxo
