Sure lost a very good friend. Karen and I loved her like she was one of our family. She came to our home for Easter and Thanksgiving. Everyone thought she was special and she was. I always cooked her a hot dog (or 2) at the Church weiner roast and I made sure it was burnt. I met Phyllis through Ride Solution taking her to church about every day. I always loved picking her up. We always laughed and had a good time. She was one very intelligent lady. There will always be a void at 7:45 am because that is when I would get her. GOD will take care of Phyllis and that is a fact. Good bye ol buddy Love ya, Gary and Karen.
