Phyllis was a people person. Through her many years of waitressing and hosting, she made many friends. Her outgoing personality gave hope and comfort to many.

I heard just today from my sister, Gloria, in Wisconsin. It was just over a year ago that we lost our mother. I send my deepest sympathy to all of my cousins, and my prayers are with all of you at this time. Diane and I are sorry for your loss, but we know that Aunt Phyllis and Uncle Hank are with family and friends on the other side of the veil and are, no doubt, having a wonderful reunion.

Scott, Ricky,Linda, Cathy Charles and Lucky.....Just heard by the grapevine that Aunt Phyllis passed last Sunday.. Out here on the farm it still takes a little longer to get word. I want you to know what very fond memories come to mind of Your Mom and Dad and all seven of you cousins. We may not have had many connections since childhood but those memories are sweet in-deed. Aunt Phyllis was always hard at work and I remember sever times we would visit her at the cafe as a waitress and or receptionist. Always on the go. I also smile at how cousins like we are could be so different in height. Me being a shrimp and you guys always up in the clean breathing air streams. Remember well our last get together over 20 years ago here on the farm to see how time had served each of us. May God be with you all tomorrow as you say your final good bye's to your Mom. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers
