Our deepest condolences to all the Reynolds family. We have fond memories of Grove Street with Phyllis and Larry. Phyllis was an amazing hostess, greeting everyone with a smile. It did not matter how late the hour. She will be greatly missed. Always so proud of her children and grandchildren. I remember the time she thought we forgot her birthday as we never mentioned until very late in the evening. She was completely surprised. Miss those wonderful days. Love, Sile and Jim....Kennebunk, Maine and Washington, DC

Phyllis was always so warm and welcoming and was always great for a joke or a laugh. I will always remember the BBQs and family events herself and Larry hosted whenever we would be over from Ireland. On a lighter note, I always think of her whenever I see someone put sparkling wine in their red wine!

Rest in peace Phyllis. You were a lady among women.

Sean, I am so sorry for your loss. Phyllis was so lucky to have had you, and to have raised such a kind, caring and compassionate gentleman.
I hope you take comfort in all the lovely and cherished memories you shared together with your mother, you were blessed to live side by side, and she was blessed to have you & Sheila when she needed you both, always.
Phyllis was always so relaxed and overjoyed and at peace in your company, her eyes sparkled and lit up when you walked into the room. You truly had a very unique and special bond and I hope this gives you comfort in the difficult days and weeks to come.
Sheila, I know you are absolutely heartbroken. I am truly devastated for your loss. I know you shared a beautiful relationship with Phyllis, you two were so similar and shared the same values and principles of kindness, respect and decency. Sending you love and comfort at this hugely difficult time.
Seanie, Liam, Declan and Brigid I am so sorry for your deep loss. Phyllis was so proud of each and every one of you. I hope that you are all comforted by the countless hours and days and years of happy memories spent with your grandmother.

Kate Bendall

December 3, 2020

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this most difficult of times. Phyllis was a wonderful and kind human being. She always gave my family the warmest of welcomes, in particular to my parents. My mum and dad were very fond of Phyllis and very much enjoyed her company when they visited. She was an amazing hostess and had the ability to make you feel not just like a guest in her home, but like family. Phyllis had a smile for everyone and my most enduring memory will be her smile and infectious laugh. Rest in peace Phyllis.
