Sending our sympathies to all of the Mund family for the loss of your mother and grandmother Phyllis. We lived just down the road from the Munds. My sister Lisa and I became lifelong friends of Mary’s. We’re forever grateful for some of the best memories of our youth made together living out in the country and all the good times we had getting to grow up near your family. Your mom will always be remembered. Rest in peace Phyllis.
Laurie and Dave Gress
R.I.P. Phyllis.
So sorry for your loss Michelle. Prayers for the family
We were lake neighbors and enjoyed visiting with Phyllis. Our sympathies are sent to her family.
So very sorry for your loss . When we moved to the country with two young daughters, there were not many in the area to be friends with at the time. Wasn’t long when the girls met Mary and her horse. The girls made so many memories with the family, and it was a blessing to have them next door. Please know of our sympathy and caring thoughts. “May the Angels Welcome Phyllis to Paradise”
My deepest Sympathy. I worked with Phyllis, Arlene, and Douglas at the Hi-Ten in West Fargo. Phyllis was a great person to work with. She was a great waitress and we had good talks at the end of the counter in the kitchen, if and whenever there was a little time between food orders. I often think about working at the Hi-Ten and how many people we fed each night.
