I'm so terribly saddened to lose my best friend Phyllis. I've known her over 40 yrs since I was a teenager. And her son & husband etc. wonderful family. I love them all. I cannot imagine life without her yet I have the hope of seeing her soon in the resurrection . She was THE most loving, funny, kind, generous, happy person I've known. Always gave u a small gift or candy when u visited. Sent beautiful homemade anniversary cards & get well etc. everywhere we went Phyllis got attention people were just drawn to her. Not just her beauty but u could see she exuded kindness. And don't start me on her joyous happy loud cackling laugh!!! U knew Phyllis was in the building. Everyone loved her precious laugh. Phyllis was there for me for happy & sad times. Never left me unaided or lonely or unloved! I hope I returned to her that same feeling . I'll sure miss u Lucy. ( Lucille Ball)!

I am truly deeply saddened to hear of her passing. She was such a kind, happy, loving soul & the absolute most thoughtful & sweetest person. She was truly a valued one of a kind precious gem. I cannot wait to see her again & I will never forget the kindness she showed not only to myself but my entire family especially when my children were young. She never forgot an anniversary & never forgot at each mtg & every chance she had to make children feel loved, special & valuable. Our family loves Phyllis with no limit, the same way she loved us. Our deepest condolences to Lee & Randy.

My first memory of Phyllis was when i was six years old and she was was eight. My Aunt was a neighbor and knew the family. Phyllis and her brother, David, become my friends. Later my family moved next door. Their mother was my mother's dear friend..
