We share your grief and smiles of a good life lived! Betty reminded me of a gathering we had years ago in Montreat NC where Phyllis also came and we from Florida at the time brought a older widow friend Mildred and the fun and laughs these to shared that week in the mountains. I celebrate Phil commitment to her occupation and how she approached work. It has been a privilege to honor her as family. We intend to donate in her name money to the Humane Society as I know she would approve. Gog Bless this Family in the weeks and months ahead. David and Becky Davis, Greenville South Carolina

So very sorry to hear this. I was looking forward to seeing her today. Visiting Phyllis was one of the highlights when we made our monthly visit to the Catherine Kasper home in Donaldson. Both of my Siberian huskies – Tikaa and Kenzie – would get very excited when they saw her. I loved to talk with her about the many beautiful jigsaw puzzles she worked on. Wishing all her family many wonderful memories.

My thoughts and prayers are with Bob and his family in the loss of Phyllis.
