Ken and Girls: My sincerest apologies for such an overdue message but I just found out tonight from Brent Kereluik about the passing of Phyllis. I had known for a few months that she was not well but just kept hoping that she would recover. I can only express my great sadness for all of you and say that I always considered Phyllis to be a friend and a fine lady and I will miss her.

Ken and family: My condolences and sympathy to all of you on the passing of your wife, mother and grandmother. I regret I was unable to attend the funeral and I was surprised and saddened to learn that Phyllis had had cancer and had died.
I had worked with Phyllis when she was with the Capital Care Group and always admired her caring approach, commitment to patient care and efficiency of administration. I know her family was her top priority and then patients and staff.
Phyllis touched so many lives and influenced all who knew her. She will be sorely missed. God's bessings to each of you and may you find comfort in the caring and love of family and friends.
My deepest sympathy and prayers. Karen Polowick Past Vice Chair of the Board of Capital Health.

When we received notice of Phyllis's passing, it was with disbelief. We remember the times we spent together in church family activities in Ardrossan. It just seems like yesterday. May you find peace and comfort as you gather to remember the special person Phyllis was. May she remain in your hearts forever. God bless.

Ken and family,

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Phyllis was such a wonderful person. Where does the time go? It seems like yesterday that Tara and Kim were just little toddlers and you were living on the acreage at Horton Place. We were busy with all the activities around Ardrossan with our little ones and the time has passed so quickly. You are in our thoughts and prayers and may god grant you strength to face the coming days.

With love, Rick and Marion Pilger
