Not sure what to say?

The first home we owned as a young married couple belonged to Phyllis and her husband, We have fond memories of knowing her for 40 years.

I only now found out about Phyllis' passing. I loved Phyllis more than any mom. I am so sorry to have lost her. I hope I get to see her again. Please enjoy the drum I made her and know that I made it with a lot of affection. I am go glad she passed through our world. Love You Phyllis.

I had known Phyllis for just under 15 years. She was wonderful woman who I greatly admired. She had a shining Spirit…and she was a born teacher as well as a faithful “student”.

Evangelist Joyce Meyer, once gave a lecture and spoke of a woman that lived every minute of her life in fear…she only saw the fearful side of every event…Phyllis lived her life with joy and courage…and taught others how to do the same.

She helped people understand that it is through our actions…we learn...

Godmother of my daughter and a close friend during graduate school, I'll never forget the love she shared with me and my family. Phyllis!

Leslie and Anne... I am so sorry for your loss. Phyllis was a big part of my life for many years and a wonderful friend. I have many fond memories of sharing laughter, tears and growing pains. She always handled life with grace (even when the kitten got in the dryer). I cherish all the times I spent in her living room drinking tea and talking for hours. Her wisdom will forever be part of my journey. She is one of the most elegant yet humble women I've known. May you find peace during...

Phyllis was my therapist for more than 10 years. She got me through the break-up of my marriage and of my coven. She listened uncritically and helped me to realize that it was all right to like myself. She even helped me with my homework for my Master's Degree. I will miss her incredibly.

I met Phyllis in 1960 in Boulder in the context of a wedding party. She was charming, gracious, witty, and clever. After a lapse of many years, I saw her again at a family wedding in Massachusetts. The years had not diminished her fine qualities of personhood. She had kept in touch with my two sons, and for that I am most grateful. I join family and friends in grieving over her passing.

While we know that Phyllis was such a wise spirit, accepting what happens and making the best of life's difficulties, still her death to this life leaves such sorrow. Thanks so those who were able to share their caring in helping her. Again, I was sad to be too far away. Condolences to all who will miss her as I do.

Phyliss' skills in counseling helped bring about a positive change in my life that continues to this day. Would that all of us could help someone, at least one person, in such a deep and lasting manner. Tremendous lady.
