Phyllis Ann Bosacker, my mother passed peacefully on September 14, 2006 at her home in Whittier, CA at the age of 73.
Phyllis is survived by her loving son and daughter in law Thomas and Rosanna Santiago of the Bay Area. She is also survived by her son Bill, daughter Amy, husband Don, and grandchildren Danielle, Ryan, Tyler and Jacob. Phyllis is also survived by her brother Jim, sisters Leona and Diane, and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
She will always be remembered for her kind and giving spirit. My mother's love for animals and Native American culture was second to none. No stray animal was ever turned away and many took up permanent residence there. My mother never had much money but what little she had she freely gave away to help others before herself. Her love for myself and my wife she spoke of frequently as well as her grandchildren. She also spoke in a very loving way of her brothers and sisters. She would always remember growing up on the family farm in Wisconsin and it always brought a smile to her face.
The many stories she told me about the farm and family life made me realize how special her family really is. I believe in some ways that she never left that farm and I know that she's back there now, young, healthy and vibrant. One of the most important things about my mother was her sense of humor and positivity. She never spoke negatively about anyone. She greeted people with open arms.
My mother enjoyed my wife's cooking so much and looked forward to spending Thanksgiving and Christmas in the Bay Area every year. My mother loved vacationing in Sequoia National Forest which we did frequently when I was young.
I can remember when I was young, staying up late at night, sipping coffee, eating saltines with butter and watching various late night TV shows such as Gunsmoke, The Rockford Files, and police dramas with my mom.
I can honestly say that outside of my wife, my mother was my best friend and cheerleader. Without my mom, I hate to think what would have become of me. My mother referred to me as Tombo and I called her Mombo. I can say without reservation that there will be a void in my life now that will never be filled. So with a heavy heart I say goodbye for now to Mombo. I know that I'll see you on the other side and we can do things together we weren't able to do and I can tell you about what's happened since you passed. Your loving son always, Tombo.
To anyone reading this, please tell your loved ones how much you love them for you never know what tomorrow will bring.
