I am now the age that Phyllis was when she went to be with the Lord and it makes me anxious to see all the loved ones who have gone ahead of me to Heaven. When I see Phyllis I will thank her again for her faithfulness in walking with the Lord. What a tremendous witness she left with my children who are walking with the Lord today. Again I thank God for the godly example of Phyllis Karpovck.

It is a honor to have called Phyllis a dear friend for the many years she served at Ferndale Assembly God Church. Over the years she supplied my dear husband, Pastor Robert Bradley, with many inspirational books and words of encouragement. Phyllis was loved by all the children she taught and especially by our two children, Brenda and Bruce. I envy her welcome into the presence of our precious Lord Jesus Christ. My thoughts and prayers go to her dearly loved family.

I will always cherish the phone visit Phyllis and I had a couple of weeks ago.Words cannot aptly describe Phyllis. She was an amazing, wonderful, caring person.So many of us who worked with her at Pine Knob Elementary and others will miss her letters and notes of inspiration, sweet smile, and acts of genuine kindness. I will always love and remember her.

Words can not express what Phyllis meant to the people around her. She always greeted you with a smile. Over the years she had given our kids books to read, and they have treasured them. I will miss her birthday cards every year with a beautiful scripture inside. You will be greatly missed our friend. We will see you again someday. All our love, Tammie, Tom, Sammie & Melissa Wolfe

Beth & Cindy
I have so many wonderful childhhood memories of your mom and the sweet treats that were always in her kitchen. She always had time to talk to me over our backyard fence and then as I got older, time for me to just stop in at the backdoor. I still have the picture of the Snoopy Birthday cake she made me as well as a cookbook she gave me and wrote a special message in. Peace be with you and your family. Sarah Williams

What a precious friend Phyllis was. I remember the many years we went to FA-HO-LO park together. Seeing her again less than three years ago was a blessing. God is good.
Hallelujah we shall laugh once again together. All of my four generation family is serving the Lord and I contribute much of that miracle to Phyllis and her faithful teaching Children's Church at Ferndale Assembly of God.
Will miss you my dear friend.

Phyllis Karpovck was the kindest, sweetist woman we have ever known. The world could take a lesson from Phyllis as to how we should live our lives. She will be dearly missed. Cindy and Beth, please know that this world is a better place because your mother was in it. Sincerely, Sally and Greg Seaman

Phyllis is one of the sweetest ladies I have ever known. She just oozes the love of Jesus out of every pore. She could talk to anyone, young middle-aged or elderly. She sure had a way with words. She loved to read and share her favorite books. What a mind she had. She will be dearly missed. I love her deeply. My love , prayers and condolences To her family. Unfortunately I'm out of town and cannot make it to her funeral. Jesus please give her a hug from me and tell her I miss her already and can't wait to see her in heaven.

It has been many years since I last talked to Phyllis! I will always remember her excellent story telling in Junior Church at Ferndale A/G and the Kids Krusades and the FGBMA conventions. I have tried to copy her style and heart in my own storytelling attempts in church. Her soft-spoken and gentle spirit always made me feel special, and I have always loved her for that. My prayer is for her family that the Holy Spirit will comfort you all. and that her legacy will be one of love of family, love of friends and most importantly love of Jesus. I know she will be waiting to greet you all, and me too, at heaven's gate.Until then, Phyllis, you will be missed but fondly remembered

She was one awesome lady. My children were taught the Word by her in Ferndale Assembly of God Church in the 80's. Heaven's bells were ringing when she arrived.....

Grandma we all miss you so much. We know that it is us in our worldly thoughts, but having fellowship, eating dinners, coffee, desserts galore, and playing Uno, scrabble, or Apples to Apples will not be the same. On that note we know that you are in the most wonderful place with our most wonderful God. We miss you!!

Oh how Phyllis will be missed, I met her thru Christian Women's Club many years ago, she has been such an encouragement to me with her sweet spirit and willing heart to pray and share the word of God anytime, anywhere. Phyllis you are so loved and will be well remembered. I suspect many souls that make it to Heaven will be there in part because of you and your life. Love & Blessings to her family...Dianna Tracy
