When we moved into the neighborhood we were immediately befriended by Phyllis and Lowell. If we needed a ladder, hammer, or conversation, Lowell and Phyllis have always open for business. Since we also bought into the 'historical' aspect of our neighborhood (meaning a 125 year old house that serves as a money pit) Lowell and Phyllis have always been a great source of advice and help. There has always been comfort knowing Lowell and Phyllis were here, steady, and true. We have admired you both from the moment you introduced yourselves. Your dedication to each other has been an outstanding witness for us all to emulate. We will miss Phyllis and her gentle friendship.

My husband and I have lived across the street from Lowell and Phyllis for nine years and have so much enjoyed being their neighbor, saying hello every day. We called them "the kids" because they were out and about more than we were! Phyllis was such a sweet lady we admired her strength. With Lowell by her side, she enjoyed life. Phyllis, you will be missed. Love to you, and prayers to all your family.
