I have taken many CE classes given by Phyllis. I am also now having the great joys of rasing my daughter where she too raised Angela. Phyllis may you fly high with the angels above and watch over all that love you. God bless!!!!

I was so sorry to hear of Phyllis' passing. I really have to say she was the first person to motivate me to become my own agent and open my own office. I dont think without her guidance I would be in the career that I love. I will truly miss her. Angela your family is in my prayers I know what your mom meant to you.

Phyllis came to Sentry Insurance often to teach continuing ed. We all looked forward to her visits and learned so much from her. What a role model. She spoke to us about her family and husband; obviously the most important things in her life. I thought of her as a 'friend' and will sadly miss her.

Tom and family!

It is with great sympathy to hear of the loss of Phyllis. Over the years that we have known her and gone to various events together, she was a joy to know and have with us. We have many happy memories of the kidding between Tom and Phylis and how well they fit together.
She will be missed.
