June 4, 2018 at 7:19 pmWe love you all so much. Our experience at Belmont Church with the youth ministry would not have been the same without all of you in our life. I can picture Phyliss standing in the back of Sozos watching youth group as so many of the parents did. She was beautiful. When ever I saw her in the back of the room I paid attention bc the love of God was all over her. Hugs and much love from Joe, JJ, and Theresa Mazza
