I would just like to say thank you to everyone for your thoughts, prayers, cards, and flowers. I am still amazed at how quick and unexpected my mother's illness was. But I know she is with God and at peace. Please remember the good times you may have shared with my mother or one of her funny stories that she told. My mother was an extraodinary woman and so full of life. She will be missed but not forgotten.

Words can say so little when the heart is overflowing. For words seem so inadequate to express what's in the heart. May the family find peace in knowing that God is in control and that Phyllis is at home with God. I loved her beautiful spirit.

To the family:
You have my sincere condolences. I was saddened to learn of the passing of my high school classmate, Phyllis, remarkable during our Central High years as one of those with the most pleasant of demeanors. By all accounts it apparently remained intact throughout her life. May her fine spirit be long-remembered in celebration and as a comfort. Please know that in addition to other family, there are many friends, current and "old," who offer up supportive thoughts and prayers at this time of your loss of a loved one. Peace,

Phyllis is still as beautiful as I remember. It's amazing how parrallel our lives have been: two daughters each and retiring from teaching at the same time with the same number of years. We didn't keep in touch, but I've often thought of her with the fondest of memories. She was my good friend in high school. My heartfelt sympathy to her loved ones. I, too, understand what it means to lose a loved one.
Sincerely,
Dorisel Ezzard Boggs

This is a heart-felt loss of a dear friend from childhood. May the family know that she is in good hands now.

What a beautiful person inside and out! Phyllis had such a sweet spirit. I lived in Dayton, Ohio for ten years right after college. Phyllis and I would see each other and hug and talk for a long time. We talked about everything - children, husbands, sororities (I am Delta, she was AKA), jobs, everything! Phyllis always had such a sweet attitude, such a sweet spirit. She was a delight. I am so saddened about her death. To her family, I send you my love and prayers for your peace in this time of loss.
