Phyllis Giesche Obituary

Dear Giesche Family, I don't know if you remember me or not. My folks owned the "Buttonhole" store when it was underneath Bob Horsley's in Glen Ellyn. My Dad was in a wheelchair. I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. May she forever rest in peace.

Giesche Family:

May your mother's soul rest in peace.

Gary, Brian and Greg, you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Your parents had a significant impact on my life and I have great memories of them. You all have been left with a legacy of grace and beauty, may your memories of your mother bring joy to your hearts and resolve in your spirit. Your mother was a phenomenal lady who had time for anyone who needed it, with a wonderful zest for life. I still ride my Goldwing and often when i am riding I think of the conversations I had with your mom and dad about their adventures on theirs. Or their other travels, i was moved by her adventurous spirit. There are so many little ways your mother impacted my life, I thank God that our paths crossed, you all will be in my prayers.

Bless your heart and soul, Mrs. Giesche! I will always have beautiful memories of growing up from childhood to senior adulthood with your influence upon me. I thank you for your elegant opinions about shoes and accessories. You had the time to listen to me. Your hearty laughter brings warmth and comfort to me right now. You took the time to impress upon me the need to stop biting my fingernails...remember that conversation over at my folks' driveway? Well, you showed me your fingers and the lasting appearance biting and picking can have on a woman's hands. A mink hat, snowmachining, Fox River, peaking over the staircase railing listening to you chat and laugh while you played bridge at Mom's home, Christmas cards, sharing snow skiing stories, shoe shopping at the Glen Ellyn Store, wedding shower, wedding and baby celebrations, the Kentucky no drink and drive television advertisements...I am grateful for having had you a part of my life for such a long, long, long time. You were one classy woman.
