MAY GOD REST HER SOUL.
They were my Parent's friends,
but I always called them
UNCLE HERB AND AUNT PHYLLIS, for all my life.
Our families were very close.

We are very saddened by her loss.
She was a wonderful person.
May SHE REST IN PEACE.

I loved Phyllis and will miss seeing her on Thursdays at Brookdale. She was such a good and interested reader. My thoughts are with her family.

I loved Phyllis, she was such a loving woman! She always helped others before herself. I worked at Brookdale VH, and after I left, I would stop by and visit her along with others. She was always so happy and never walked past the front desk without saying hi to me. She will forever be loved and missed by many, including me. I am sad to hear this.

Phyllis was a very kind and loving woman. She showed love and compassion to all of those she interacted with her. I will remember as someone I enjoyed saying hello to while I was working at Brookdale

Our family loved Phyllis. My parents lived with her at Brookdale. My mother and her attended the same high school and graduated together at Roosevelt. Phyllis always was a smiling face, a warm hug, and a beautiful singing voice. We are so sorry for your loss. Marian and Jerry Shapiro and the 4 daughters

Phyllis was an extra ordinary woman. If it wasn't for her warmth and caring
manner I would have never adjusted to the Brookdale community. She cared so deeply for all of the residents.

Rest In Peace my dear friend.
