Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. Phyllis, I will miss you terribly. You were a bright light, always smiling, and always so friendly and welcoming.

  2. The loss of my cousin Phyllis is very sad. Her mom and dad said we looked like sisters. My Condolences to the family and may she rest in peace. 🙏🏻❤️
    Love you Polly

  3. My dear friend Phyllis is already missed by me and will certainly miss her kindness and compassion that she showed to all who knew her or crossed her path.
    God Bless you my friend… until we meet again!!! Love you dearly 🙏❤️💕

  4. So sorry Lisa, Nate and Noahfor the great loss of your mother and grandmother. She was a kind and generous woman. I remember many wonderful times with her. May her memories bring you some comfort at this difficult time.

  5. Heartbroken is the only word to express my feelings at this time. Phyllis and I have 68 years of memories. From the day she walked into Ms. Morrissey’s English class room as a “newbie”, we knew we were destined to be best friends from that day forward. Phyl was always there for me and vice versa. Shared so many happy memories, some incredibly sad ones as well. She would ask how things are going and when they were good we’d both laugh, however, when life throws you that curve ball it can get rough, as we all know. She would always patiently listen, then sincerely offer her best solution, opinion, and she would be right on, (most of the time).
    I will miss you terribly, Phyl. Have a seat ready for me in Heaven when I hopefully follow you there.
    Love Always, Jo
