To all of Phyllis's family members, and especially you (Kendra), your mother will be greatly missed. I had the pleasure of working with Phyllis at MW Windows for several years and enjoyed each year that i was associated with her. I will never forget that laugh of hers, I think that is what made her so special. She was a dear friend and a beautiful person. I hope you all can find comfort in her passing, knowing that this is GOD'S PLAN. He needed Phyllis for a special chore in his house. My prayers will be with you.
