Jennifer and Family,
Phyllis brought her goodness and beautiful spirit into my life many years ago. All who met her could see goodness shine out from her kind eyes and beautiful smile. Phyllis was truly a lovely woman. I know my life was made richer because of meeting her. My heart aches for your loss.
