Dear Edward, Jonathan and Philip, I was so sorry to hear about Phyllis' passing. She was an inspiration and such a life force. I fondly remember her amazing chocolate chip cookies and her knowledge of super foods like wheat germ before the health industry caught on! You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this very sad time.
