What a wonderful person. You are missed.

Dear Sally & Karen,
I was so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. My mother cherished her lifelong friendship with her.
Growing up, I remember visiting with your mom frequently. I still remember the time we stayed in the cottage in Laguna Beach. The eucalyptus tree nuts would fall on the roof with a plunk.
When your family moved to Cayucas, it was harder to visit, but mom and I would visit from time to time. It was important that she could visit her lifelong friend.
Karen,...

My dad Charles' favorite cousin.

I am part of the Larsen family from Kingsburg CA. Phyllis was present at many family get togethers. She was loved by our family (Brooks Sr., Patricia, Karen, Jim, and Brooks Jr.). My uncle Stanley Schaffer and his wife Edna Erle Schaffer were close with Phyllis. Edna Erle is in her 90's and wanted to attend the memorial but, her health wouldn't allow it. Phyllis will be missed very much by our family. To Sally and Karen please remember the best times. She was a great lady. Love from the...

I knew Phyllis from encountering her as she walked daily with her caregivers and went out to get the mail. She was kind and independent and a lovely human being. My dog, Kirin adored her. Every day he would stop outside her house and look for her. He continues to do that now, even though she is gone. We will miss her.

I met Phyllis through Karen, her lovely boogie boarding ukulele-playing daughter. I had the pleasure of singing and playing a tune for her myself, and you couldn't ask for a better audience. I just read her obituary and she was quite a woman. I'm glad I had a chance to know her.

Our dearest "Auntie Phil"--that's what Bill and I called you. You are very missed. My family enjoyed the times we spent with you. You were one of the sweetest ladies I've ever known. I know that you are resting in peace.

I knew Phyllis for almost 30 years through her regular visits to the Morro Bay Library. She was a lovely woman who spoke to each staff by name and brought her youthful light and joy to share with everyone. I admired her life and ability to age gracefully. Retired Librarian

She was a "lady" and a great woman...A positive and joyful person. How lucky for everyone to have enjoyed so many years with her. And Karen and Sally you were amazing as her caregivers the last few years of her life. Kudos! Love, Linda Morris
