Just this last week, I found a note Phyllis had sent me in 1985 and recalled her generous spirit and friendship.

Phyllis, you were spirited in life and now your spirit remains among us all. Your heart. Your smile. Your caring... touched all that met you.
It was a blessing knowing you. Rest In Peace.

I met Phyllis first in the early 1960s when her children were enrolled in PS199 where my mother Rose Revesz was a teacher. They became friends. Over the years through our mutual interest in justice, politics and the UWS, Phyllis and I became friends. I will miss her presence, generosity and insights

Phyllis was a valued friend and colleague in the early days of the Bloomingdale Family Program… and never lost touch with each other. She will be missed.
