Our deepest sympathies are extended to your entire family. Phyllis was an amazing lady who loved her family and loved her Lord. She was an inspiration to many and a special friend to our family. She spoke with love when she met people and we loved her joy. We had lost contact with her over the last few years and but she was in our prayers often. We have great memories with her and look forward to seeing her again in eternity. God bless you all and may her joy and love continue as her legacy.
