Share a Memory or Condolence

May 14, 2023

My Condolences to Gail, family, and friends of Phyillis. She was such a nice person and will always be remembered for her kindness. She loved to eat Mexican food and I wish La Paloma was open to serve up some good food in her celebration. We are now closed up but Phyillis and Gail will always be a memory in our hearts and may all the good blessings shine on you at this time of sorrow. We will all miss you Phyillis. All our Love, Art Jimenez La Paloma
