Its so hard to say goodbye to a great friend and co-worker. We had the honor of working with Phyllis at Tacoma General. Phyllis truly was one of a kind and will forever be in our hearts. We have had some good times on second shift joking and clowning around with one another and when we left and moved to Connecticut we just knew that we would see you at a BBQ at Linda house with a smile on your face and a cocktail in your hand. We are both sad that we didnt get a chance to say goodbye to our friend but we will meet again some day. Missing you Phyllis..Love Sylvia Davila and Lydia Jubrey
