I am so sorry to read the news of Phyllis's death. She was such a sweet gal. I played Bridge with Phyllis and she was a very good Bridge player. Even when she lost a good deal of her sight, she played Bridge and was amazing at how well she could do at seeing the cards. Phyllis will be missed by all who knew her.
My deepest sympathy to her sons and family and all her friends who will really miss her.
Rest in beautiful Peace Phyllis, you will be missed.

I am sorry to hear of Phyllis's passing. I got to know her when I lived in the Lansdowne apartments. She would often play bridge with a group of my friends. We saw some of her fine knitting and she agreed to knit up some yarn I had had for years. I treasure the sweater that she made for me many years before her eyes began to fail her.
Blessings. Florence Pidruchney
