It has been my great fortune to have known Phyllis and Andy for a number of years. It was always nice to hear of their Florida travels during our harsh Wisconsin winters! Phyllis was such a fighter, and it was touching to see how Andy doted over her, and to see the devotion they had for each other. Theirs was a unique relationship, and I can think of no two people better equipped to support each other. She will be missed by my staff and I.
