We sure will miss Phyllis! She was a wonderful sister-in-love to me. I will miss being able to call her up and ask questions about knitting & quilting. Praying you will find comfort that only the Lord can give!

Phyllis was the best grandmother a granddaughter could ask for. Her masterpieces that she made me for the holidays are some things I will cherish forever. I hope to be as skilled with some needles and thread as she was someday. I love you always grandma <3 xoxo, Rest In Peace beautiful soul. Heaven gained the most precious angel.

We first met Phyllis at Fred and Karon's wedding. Through the years, we have enjoyed knowing Phyllis from a distance via Fred and Karon, hearing about the arrival growth of kids, family vacations, etc. In recent years, I have enjoyed knowing Phyllis via Facebook, with her sharing her amazing needle craft projects. Also enjoyed are her comments about cats. We have one at our house. We were sorry to hear of Phyllis's illness and passing. Please be assured of our prayers on behalf of the family....

My beautiful Matron of Honor, my mentor, my friend. The most recent moment was the arrival of a quilt made for me by Phyllis. She sent it shortly after hearing of some difficult life changes ahead of me ... I will cherish it always.

I remember every vacation coming to see you. My first taste of fresh fish. Trip to St. Augustina. So sad this was the last time I saw you but glad I had the chance to see you and spend time. You will be missed.❤
