Phyllis, you will be so deeply missed! We loved you while you were here and will continue to love you! I know Layla (Lady as you sometimes called her - Puppy Dog), is excited to see you again when it's time as she misses cuddling lol. Don't worry so much Phyllis, Frankie Lee may have a bit of a rough start, but I'm sure you are going to be there to nudge him in the right direction. I'm sorry we all have to temporarily separate ourselves from our loved ones, it sucks terribly bad! Keep a close eye out on us down here, or if needed, give us a swift kick in the rear if needed. Some of our loved ones are already there with you and some will soon be on their way unfortunately (as it's heartbreaking y'all leaving us) we are glad for no more hurting but don't know how to help our own hurt when y'all leave. Thank you for being you! We love you so much! We ALL look forward to seeing you again WHEN it's our time of course Love you Phyllis.... Jamie Norris, Lynne Cox, Dustin Smith and Aaron Smith.
