I was shocked to see that Phyllis was the women from Hollis on the news. As every one has written before me she was such a sweet and careing person. I can't believe this is how her life has ended.We worked together in Tewksbury and even after she left and someone I knew saw her, she sent a stuffed frog with them for me cause she knew I liked frogs. This is how she was!
I send my deepest sympathy to her family & Joann (her friend)

God bless Phyllis, always a smiling face, from high school to when I last saw her regularly in Tewksbury in my neighborhood. She never forgot a face or a name, now we cannot forget hers, ever.

To Phyliss family,
My thoughts and prayers go out to you. I met Phyliss about 4 years ago and would see her often at the flea market. She was always looking for treasures and so excited with her big finds. She was always willing to help out and offer her knowledge on items I found at the flea market. When I was at work alone, she always offered to go to "dunks" and get me a coffee. I live on the next street and will Never forget this senseless tragedy. God Bless you Phyliss, RIP

I knew Phyllis for many many years she was my best friend, she was like a sister to me. I just don't know what I can say because it will not bring her back home to us. I just tell myself she is no longer suffering she is with Mom and her Big Brother that will now watch her.
I miss you so much Phyllie and I will always love you for that special friend you were to me. Rest in Peace
Your Buddy Best Jo Jo

I am so very sorry that Phylly has left us and deeply saddened by this tragedy. I can see she has touched so many many lives and the comments are always the same. Sweet, loving, dependable, devoted friend that would do anything she could for you. How can someone this wonderful be taken from family and friends. She will forever be in my heart and thoughts. She was a wonderful friend to me and I always enjoyed her company. There was something uplifting about being around her. I strive to be more like her. Energetic, positive thoughts, kind and ready to extend a hand. I will miss hearing about all her great treasure finds and bargains.....all this for $20.00!!!
Love you sweet Phylly
