Phyllis was a co-worker and a very special friend throughout the time we worked together at GE. She was always full of happiness and laughter. We all loved her. I'm very sad to hear this sad news. I still have good memories. Our sympathy goes out to the family.

Although my grandma and I were hundreds of miles away, she had a way of making you feel like you were in the same room whenever you talked to her. It was always a joy talking to her with her bubbly, optimistic bright personality and not to mention her great sense of humor. She was an angel on this earth and now she has her wings. <3

If you spent even 1 minute with Phyllis, you were smiling because she was. Life was exciting around her. I am so glad that I was able to spend some good times with her these last few years. It's nice to have your friend's Mom remember you, no matter how long it's been since you've talked. Phyllis was like that and she made everyone feel loved. She will be missed dearly.

Phyllis was one of my best friends, we worked side by side at GE for many years. You were always so full of smiles and happiness, made me laugh day after day. Everyone who knew you loved you dearly, including me. You were like a sister to me. It's hard not cry over such a great loss but I know you would want us to be happy and have drink in honor of your memory. I will miss you dearly and hope to rejoice with you in heaven one day.

Time spent with Phyllis, was time spent smiling. She always made you feel as if you were the most important person in her life when she talked to you. She welcomed Lauren and our entire family with open arms, and I'll never forget that. The world truly lost a bright light with her passing, and I can honestly say that I'm a better person for having met her. Sending love to all of you during this heartbreaking time.

Goodbye sweet Miss Ruby, rest in peace. I'm so glad to know you, your strength and cheer will guide me all my life. Folks fuss more about the weather than you ever did about chemo and cancer. And so beautiful always, you'll forever be The Grand Dame to me. I miss you so much but have fun, love you, until we meet again.

ruby was fun loving woman who i had the pleasure to meet several years ago prior to her illness . we spoke occasionally on the car phone while she drove to and from her errands with her daughter laura . she was always happy even with the pain she went through during the last several years . She was a true fighter and champion she would never complain and always worried that everyone was doing good no matter what threshold of pain she was going through. we spoke last week and i said to her not to worry because her stay here on earth was worth it . after all she helped her daughter turn into the same caring loving person as she was during there 5 year full time reunion while laura cared for her during her illness .thats what a legacy is to have a memory or reminder (in this case laura) to who you were or what you stood for . im happy to say the heavens are lucky to have a new angel teaching them some new lessons. but earth is a little sadder loosing such a nice nice woman.

mom always made us happy

To my sweet and amazing mother; thank you for giving me the qualities you did, for loving me unconditionally at all times, for encouragement when I needed it most and for the strength to know I got this. I will forever carry those qualities on in life. Your loving daughter.
