I was so sad to read of Phyllis' passing. I worked with Phyllis for many years at Data Architects/Logica in Waltham. I have so many wonderful memories both in and out of work with her. She truly was one of the most beautiful souls I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. It's been many, many years but I will never forget her (always remembered her birthday!). My deepest condolences to her family and all who loved her.

Aunt Phyllis was such a kind and sweet woman. She made my daughter and I feel so welcome and loved when we stayed with her and Uncle Red. Everyday of the rest of my life I will try to be more like her. My love and prayers to my cousin Elizabeth and the whole family. I know she loved you all and because of you she had a beautiful life. I know she joins Uncle Red and my Dad in a happy beautiful place. She left a legacy to be proud of in her children and grandchildren. We will all miss you Phyllis, until we meet again fly with the Angels.
