Sending your family sincere condolences at this sad time. So sorry for your loss.
I am very glad that I was able to reconnect with Phyllis, my second cousin, at Hilton and Alta's family reunions these past few years. She was a lovely lady and I know you will all miss her very much. Thinking of you all.
She was a wonderful Auntie with a great interest in everyone and a special laugh. I will miss her. Thinking of all the family and sending love your way.
I worked with Phyllis at CHEC back in the late 70s. I recall how very kind she (as well as Carole) was to me, a young and green kid who was wet behind the ears. I learned a lot in that small office we shared and am grateful for the laughter, kindness, and care shown to me by Phyllis.
