Our condolences to her family. Pharine was the sharpest, sweetest woman I've ever known. She spoke her mind and made no excuses, I loved that about her. I relished her company and her opinions. I have missed her and I regret letting my busy schedule prevent me from visiting her. Pharine was a real treasure and my family and I are greatful to have had her in our lives.

About a year ago I prayed for a friend of mine to find a female companion and mentor. That person was Pharine. I never met Pharine, but I know the impact Pharine had on her. There is little doubt Pharine was a great woman and I am glad she left her mark on another life.
