Phyllis was a beautiful lady inside and out! She could always make me smile. When her and her sister Carol were together, they were a hoot. Phyllis told me some very funny stories that I will always cherish! Will definitely miss her. I regret not making more time for her after Carol passed.

I loved Phyllis! We were next-door neighbors and became great friends. We had so many wonderful times together. We sang Karaoke, danced, shopped, and talked about everything. She was a bright star with such a bubbly personality. She was always there for me. God sure got a good one. Love you Philbee. Debra Canary
