Al, Micky and I were shocked to receive the news of Phyllis' passing. We only got to meet her the one time at your nice summer party two years ago. Former Oiler lineman, Rich Kelley sent me the obituary notice. You and your family have our most sincere sympathy at this difficult time.

To the Family of Phyllis Butts ..
I am saddened to hear that Phyllis has died and so early in her life. Phyllis was a wonderful teacher at Lancaster High School. I taught with her there. She was a kind, caring and gentle person. Her students and her colleagues truly respected her. She loved working with young people and I am sure made a very positive difference in their lives. I am thinking of you at this time and I will miss her beautiful smile and gentleness. Donna (White) Moore
