I miss your mom so much Georgia. Your mom was a second mom to me. All through middle school, high school, and even when I moved away. I think of you guys everyday and I miss your mom so much. Still to this day it's hard to believe that she's really gone :( she has been missed dearly and has been on everyones minds. RIP Phyllis. You were an amazing woman and I miss you terribly :'(. I love you Georgia.

Dear Georgia,I knew your mom from Campbell High School and we lived near each other...She on Sobrato and I on Laura...so we became good friends, with alot in common concerning our home life. She was sooo cool,NOTHING seemed to rattle her cage! and whatever "it" is,that everyone tries so hard to have...she had it - in abundance! I've often thought about Phyllis and am saddened to hear about her passing away. There's no adequite words to say for such a horrendous loss...but do know that time can ease your pain and there are people praying for you!

Georgia, your mom and I grew up together - I lived in the house next to the Fishmans. We loved to play hide and seek on summer nights and played hop scotch and a game called Roly Poly on the sidewalks. I used to watch, and sometimes help, your mom fold her big old pile of newspapers that she delivered each day. She was always the girl in the neighborhood the rest of us wanted to hang out with. And I remember how happy she was when she got to paint her room peach! and when I saw her about a year ago, she talked about you and how pr
oud she was of you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
And Jack. what can I say? Your baby was beautiful inside and out May you find peace as you continue to care for your wonderful granddaughter. Angie Tate

My family and I have known Phyllis since she was 2 years old. She was cute,perky and full of life and held her own with 3 brothers. I watched as she grew up into womanhood, intellegent and hard working.
Such a tragic loss for so many, but especially for her Grandparents and particularly her 16 year old daughter, Georgia. God Bless you, Phyllis.







Lovingly, Pamela Tate and Family
