I met Phyllis in 1947 at the U of C, where we were both students. She was a remarkable person and will always be remembered fondly. She came from a loving family and carried those traits to her own family. Elyana and I extend our sympathy to her family and to her brothers Peter and Louis.
Unfortunately we are on the East coast and will return after the funeral. May her memory be eternal.
