I will remember Phyllis with love and look back with a smile on the happy times we spent together, often involving our shared love for music and song. I always appreciated the open, youthful attitude and spunk that Phyllis displayed, along with her overall passion for life, politics, and the arts. She loved her family so much. I was lucky to know both her and Walt, her husband, and I send my condolences to children and grandson, Chris, who I got to know through Phyllis.

Walt and Phyllis were such nice neighbors, happiest, I recall, when they were off to a musical gathering of friends. Strike up the band in heaven!
