My condolences to the entire Johnson family on the loss of their loving mom Phyllis Johnson. We will all miss Auntie Phyllis. I loved Auntie Phyllis the day I met her in the early 60's. I married her nephew, Rich, "Dickie" and never felt like an in-law. Auntie Phyllis treated me as one of her own. My husband thought of her as his second mother and he loved her dearly. I loved her dearly too. She always had a smile and great sense of humor, a twinkle in her eye and open for a new adventure. We loved to surprise her on our trips to Maine. We wouldn't let her know we were coming, what a great big smile and laugh when she saw us at her door. Her coffee was always on , her door open and a comfortable bed to sleep in. On her many trips to Connecticut and Florida she taught me and my children to speak a foreign language; those beautiful Maine sayings: wicked, ayuh, cunnin, deuh, and many others. She was always up to going out to have fun...or is that getting into fun and an adventure. I will always remember the fun we had at Matinicus, Rockland, Thomaston, Connecticut and Florida. How great for my Johnson cousins to have such a wonderful mother. And for all the grandchildren and great grandchildren to have her in their lives. We will all miss her.
