Dear Desi, Davis and Patti:
Sending our heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Phyllis was a one of a kind and I’m happy I got to know her. I for one will miss our little talks during our smoke breaks on the front porch and I will miss her sweet, kind spirit. She was blessed to have you all in her life to care and support her during the difficult times. She will be missed by many.
Love to you all ~
Julie, Ahmad and Brian
May she rest in peace. Our Prays go out to the Family members that God give them peace of mind that she is in a better place and the pain you feel now will be lessened by God’s love.
Phyllis was a dear friend since elementary school. She was definitely one of God’s many flowers among His beautiful bouquet of life. She was one of the most sincere, loving, and sweet Christians I’ve ever met. We had the privilege of attending church together in her last days. She will definitely be missed. I sadly missed her memorial service because I just came through major surgery. My prayers and heartfelt condolences go to the family.
