I had the joy of crossing paths with Phyllis several times - reading, camping, crafting, stitchery. Perhaps you'd like to include "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" in your song choices. At camp, we sang "I Wear My Pink
Pajamas" to that tune. My sincere condolences to all. Phyllis will be missed by many as she continues her journey.

So sorry to hear of Phyllis's passing. She was a sweet lady and member of 3rd Thurs Book Club until COVID happened. She was an avid reader and always had something to contribute. She will be missed.
