To Phyllis' family. I met her back in the 90's when I worked at the local grocery store where she often visited. She was so nice and friendly to me. I tasted "hushpuppies" for the first time as she brought some to me at the store where I was a cashier, also some mighty tasty fish as well. She sure could cook. I miss her just thinking about it those years ago. Love, Ms. Linda Williams
