I will always remember Phylis's low, husky laugh. She always had something witty to say. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family. They took such good care of her, and I know she appreciated that.

Family and Friends



I was very sorry to learn of Phyllis' passing, but knowing her as I did, I am sure that she is with Howard and they are as comfortable as they were in their lifetime. One of the running jokes we had was addressing her as "Phyliss Diller" for her sense of humor. We all enjoyed that from our original days in Oklahoma City.

Phyliss will be missed. My deepest sympathies to her family.
