I was saddened to read of Phyllis' passing, and the memory of her and her family back on the lane now known as Clearview Drive is indelibly etched in my memory... Shirley Duncan next door, Dot and Richard Wilson at the end of the road. Times and friends long gone, but fondly remembered.

Marshall I was sad to read about Phyllis this morning. We shared some lovely times together as young children long ago in Boonsboro along with Pat. Please have some comfort in knowing others thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Marshall, please accept my condolences for your loss, I only met Phyllis a few times, but was so impressed with her graciousness and friendliness. My mother, Mary, was her father's sister. Take care of yourself.
