I met Phyllis in 1962 and we have been friends ever since. She was a dear sweet woman and we had many good times together. Even though we moved from Kingston in 1968, we remained friends. I loved her smile and her since of humor. We had a lot of fun trips and visits.Even though I hadn’t seen her in quite awhile. I will still miss her. My sympathy goes out to Judy, Lou Ann, Rick, and Cheryl. I’m sorry I couldn’t be there today.I love all of you.
