My love and prayers to my precious Phyllis' family. Phyllis was very special to me. She and my parents are in a better place. Phyllis will be greatly missed, but one day we will meet again. You ran your race well. You never gave up. Love you.

The mighty voice of a peaceful warrior is now silent. My precious tiny Godmother who was bigger than life. I will cherish her wisdom, faith, love, and perseverence. She joins the ranks of the faithful before the throne... and will be watching over us all to ensure we keep up the Good Fight. We suffer this loss together... May her memory keep us together. Mattie and Leroy Jones were there waiting to greet her.

Dear Family,
I was so sorry to learn Sister Clemmons had passed away. She was a gentle giant. I will always remember her child like smile and twinkle in her eyes. She deeply loved the Lord and her missions work. I was so fascinated to hear about the wonderful trips abroad she and Sister Doris had the opportunity to enjoy. She will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time.
With sincere sympathy and prayer,

Phyllis used her gifts to minister to the homeless children through The Homeless Outreach, Inc. "Grandma Phyllis" with her large glasses and Bible drew the children to her and shared the great stories. We will miss Phyllis. May the Lord bring comfort to daughter, Sheilagh and to all Phyllis's family and friends. We know that Phyllis has gone to receive her heavenly reward.
