May God's peace flood your lives as you remember Phyllis and the life that she had.

Phyllis was in Respite care at Sunnyside Adventist Care Centre for 2 weeks in March 2003. Although we had only a short time together with her here, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Wishing you all the best on behalf of the staff and residents at Sunnyside.
