Phyllis was a very wonderful person, along with the rest of her family. She was a cousin, along with his kids, Carol, Michael and David. I always enjoyed talking with her and listening to the many storys she told me about the other members of the family. It was a sad day when she ended her journey here and left us. I missed her when she left and I miss her even now. Peace be your Phillis.

Phyllis was a true and loving person, who gave freely of herself to everyone she came in contact with. I remember the times when we used to play cribbage with her and BOB. She is still greatly missed. My deepest sorrow to her immediate family, her sons, daughter and the grandchildren she left behind. Cousin Sam Kay

There have been a few moments in my life when ive heard news that made me have to take a moment. The news of Phyllis passing was one of them. The flood of emotions and especially the flood of memories was overwhelming. I was instantly "little Steven" again, helping Phyllis with one of her many chores she always seemed to have for me to do. Whether it was raking leaves from the bushes or pulling dead frogs from the skimmer.,she always found some time for me. The memories of swimming in the pool,except Thursdays,that was hairdresser day!..Those memories and the memories of helping her are memories I have and always will hold dear to my heart. A kinder more gentle soul one cannot find.
From the Bottom of my heart I want to send my most heartfelt condolences to the Rubin family. Carol,David and especially you Michael,you always had time for me too,please know, I will always hold Phyllis's memory close to my heart.

To the Rubin children: I was deeply sadden to learn of Phylliy's passing. I have known the Rubins all my life and enjoyed playing cribbage with Bob before he passed. Phyllis was a kind person who devoted her life to her family, and she was a great friend. My deepest condolences go out to David, Mike and Carol, and to the granchildren that Phyllis leaves behind to mourn her passing. May God comfort you in your loss of a great person.
Deepest Sympathy,
