Phyllis was my elder sister's mother-in-law; "Mom" to Alan & Bob; "Grandma" to Ethan and Marc. She was kind and loving and always made me feel like one of the family too. Rest in peace, Phyllis. Now you are with your beloved Jerome.

What a wonderful loving person. As a youngster at APD she took me under her wing and made me feel part of the family. She will be missed and always remembered fondly.
