Phyllis was a very special person! We spent a lot of time behind a puppet stage! We would laugh & joke that we would still be doing puppets in our wheelchairs. I loved that women like a sister & really miss her! RIP my friend. Glen, Amanda, & Jason my thoughts and prayers are with!

Phillis was one of the most beautiful people I will ever know. No one can possibly know what she did for Mary and I when we graduated. I will always remember her with love in my heart for her caring, her giving and her friendship. I will never forget her loving kindness. It is with me forever! Rest in peace my beloved friend.
