Our dear sister, Phyllis, spent much of her lifetime trying to help young people who were going astray or down on their luck. She was always kind and overly generous in thinking of others. She loved her family deeply and cherished her two brothers. We pray that God will welcome her into His heavenly kingdom and assuage her suffering and pain and give her peace. She will be sorely missed by all of us. Bob and Gloria Carpenter

I'm grateful for the many happy times I shared on business trips to DC with my Aunt Phyllis, our trip to Maine together, and the many cards and letters I received from her over the years. I loved to copy her penmanship hoping it could be as pretty as hers. God grant Phyllis peace in her eternal rest and joy in reuniting with loved ones who have gone before.
