Dear Dick, We just learned of your great loss and want to express our sympathy to you and your family. Phyllis loaned me her wedding veil over 55 years ago and it worked for us as it did for the two of you. The comments are wonderful from those who knew her well over the years and I'm sure a comfort to all of you. Cheryl and Buzz

I am sorry that I did not get to meet the two of you when you came to visit my mom in Minnesota. I have heard many stories growing up of the fun and mischief that she and my mom got into growing up. I am truly sorry for your loss and know that you are in our prayers. She sounded like an incredible woman. I wish there was a way to get my mom there because I know she would want to be there to honor her.

Life is like a blank canvas awaiting your joys and sorrows, your triumphs and struggles, your roses and thorns and I was lucky enough to have had the guidance and influence of a phenomenal artist help bring my canvas to life. Phyllis touched my soul with her kindness and wisdom and she entered my heart with her guidance and love during the many storms of my life. I will always be thankful to her for continually reminding me in word, and showing me by modeling the way she lived her life,to always look for the blessing in the thorn.
Dick, we love you and our prayers are with you.

Phyllis was always there for me when I needed a friend and mentor. A "prayer partner" until the very end and someone who became closer to me than my own family. She has been in my thoughts ever since she first got sick and will continue to be there for the rest of my life. I would be lucky to be just half the woman she was. I cannot even begin to describe how much I will miss her, and I know that God is very lucky to have her in his presence now. My prayers are with you Dick. Love,
