Paulette and Byron,
I am so sorry to hear that Phyliss has
passed.I had her in Sunday school for
many years. The kids always enjoyed the
times she would bring her medals from
special olympics and they would all clap for her.From the time she learned
to talk, her hamburger was always a
"Bobby."Phyliss had the best parents and sister. I'll keep you in my prayers.
