I don't know where to start. I loved her laugh, her smile, her light. She truly made the world a brighter place. I kept asking when Phyllis was coming back. When I heard what happened, I said "my Phyllis"?
We use to discuss theater and banter back & forth. Pamela and Paula, I hope knowing how much everyone loved your mom will help you during this difficult time. She is already missed at Emerald Woods. We were truly blessed to have known her.

Our deepest sympathy is with you and your family. Was so heartbroken to hear about your mom when down in Emerald Woods last week. We will miss her dearly when we go back there in March. Her warmth, charm and beautiful smile were a pleasure to see everyday by the pool. May God Bless........Pamela and Peter Couture M-7

Dear Pam, Paula and family,
Phyllis was such a remarkable person - full of fun, full of life and full of love. We had a wonderful 50-year friendship "over the miles" as it was but as close as though we were just next door.
My sincere sympathy to all of you.

I met Phyllis thru my Uncle Don and Aunt Denise. I always looked forward to going to visit them in Naples every year. My thoughts and prayers are with the family of this beach loving tanned lady. She will be deeply missed by all that had the privilege of knowing her.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you, the family and friends, who knew and loved Phyllis. While I didn't get to see her very often, we emailed at least 3 times a week - exchanging photos, jokes and daily happenings. Her smile made you feel warm and happy and I will so miss hearing from her.
God bless you, Phyllis, you are dearly missed,

May your mother's love of life and beauty be always with you. I first met your mother two years ago while visiting my father in Emerald Woods, Naples, Fl. She was so young at heart and I felt an immediate connection to her. I hope you will find comfort in knowing how many lives she has touched.

My deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother and grandmother. I only knew Phyllis a few years and we only had just a few months each winter at Emerald Woods in Naples, but I felt like I knew her for many many years. Her warmth and love of life was so wonderful. I, like everyone who knew her, will miss her deeply.

Where to start? To all of Phyllis's family, and that doesn't just include Pam & Paula and their wonderful children. There were so many of us that felt like we were part of her extended family. She made so many of us feel so special and she will be sorely missed. We were so blessed to have spent so many magical moments with such an amazing woman. We just spent two weeks with Phyllis in Naples last March. I will cherish all the time we spent traveling, beaching, laughing and loving. Our love and sympathy to the immediate family and all the others who knew and loved her so.

Pam, Paula, and families -- I am so sorry for your loss. PC swept me into the life and work on Pilgrim Road with such an open and loving heart. I have fine memories of lunchbreaks on the tennis court and one magical evening of cross-country skiing on the moonlit frozen marsh with her and Mary E. Phyllis was joy-of-life personified. She lives on in the memories of those who loved her.

My deepest sympathy to your family
Phyllis was a great lady, who was very gracious and truly young at heart.
We all had such fun at the pool. I heard so many wonderful stories of her family and her travels. She always had a smile for everyone and expressed great love and pride in speaking of her family. She will be greatly missed!

My thoughts are with Pamela and Paula in your time of sorrow. Phyllis always had time to ask how I was doing and I was happy to hear of her swimming. We shared interest in the UNH Wildcats because of Bruce, even though football wasn't her favorite sport.

Cousin Phyllis was a joy when we cousins gathered for Rappie Pie in Florida. Ever friendly, she well represented her French Canadian heritage. I am most pleased to have recently shared some time with Phyllis.

"Coynie" was such a huge part of life in the neighborhood where I grew up. So many fond memories of her, the closest neighbor for 45 years. Will certainly miss her radiant smile and laughter on trips back to Pilgrim Road. Paula and Pam I send my deepest sympathies to you and your families.
