PHYLLIS WHEELER BENNETT

To Ray and Family: Please accept my condolences at this sad news. I had limited conversations with Phyllis but can recall how gracious she was in her home when I visited.

I am glad you had decades together to build upon and to enjoy each other -- I hope those memories comfort and sustain you all.
