Not sure what to say?

I am reading this obituary rather late. However, I want to say that I bought a landscape painting of Phyllis's at an art show in Saratoga in 1995 when I was 22. When she found out I had purchased it, she came up to me, introduced herself, and we chatted for a while. She was SUCH a garrelous, charming woman! I loved learning that she painted from her memories of places. That painting has been with me through the myriad chapters of my life, from Schenectady to Washington, DC, Cleveland,...

Phyllis Mark was a beloved artist of my uncle who gave me one of her lovely sculptures..which I have now had for four decades. Although I did no t know her, I am glad she left such beautiful work as a tribute to creativity and life.

My little spitfire...Phyllis....you told me you had a wonderful life and you were not afraid of passing...I cherished our conversations and time together.forever kisses

The team of Saratoga Smiles will greatly miss Phyllis. She was an amazing woman with a wonderful sense of humor. She has touched the lives of so many people. It was an honor and pleasure to serve her. She will be greatly missed and never forgotten.

On a visit at Wesley, I asked Phyllis how she was doing. She told me she was comfortable and that she's had a good life. She then asked if I was having a good life. She cared about all of us. That's what I will carry with me always..

Phyllis was a student in my belly dance class at Woodlawn Commons. she was so special and loved to dance. I was lucky enough to be invited into her apt. to see all her art work, and to receive a print of a cat which I will cherish. Elaina
