...my middle sister Phyllis, is very missed!
When I was somewhere along in 6th grade, Phyl in 11th grade, I became aware that my middle sister seemed to be the 'head of our household.' Her 'take charge' personality, following through to completion, on ALL her creative ideas were always impressive. All those skills continued to grow when raising her own family.
