Phyllis's late brother Lewis was my grandfather. I last saw her at his funeral last year. She was such an amazing source of strength to my mom and grandmother. I am so sorry for your loss and hope you find comfort in knowing she is in heaven with so many of our beloved family members.

Mom loved visits from Phyllis and Doris. She always enjoyed their time together, and Mom always smiled when she spoke of her girls. Lewis made her day with his visits and his wit. Sonny, Keith and Jill, there is smiling again.

Sonny, Keith and Jill, all of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Your Mom was a very special cousin to me and my sister Joyce. We spent many wonderful days and nights at their big home in the country. I spent the day with her when Sonny was just a little boy. I took my doll and she made a dress for it. Sonny didn't have a shirt to put on and instead of ironing one, Phyllis sat down and made him one. She was wonderful.
God bless every one of you,
