Phyllis will be missed by many.She was a loving cousin and it always brought me great comfort to hear her calm soft voice over the phone. We lived far apart as time went by but the phone is a wonderful creation.
Jan and Rhoda, know how much I love you both and Phyllis. Will see you soon.

Janet and Rhoda, I am sorry to learn of the loss of Phyllis. It doesn't seem like it has been 50+ years since we were neighbors in Sandborn. We spent so much time together back then I felt I was a part of your family and you girls were a part of mine. Those were good times. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I had the pleasure of working with Phyllis at Lincoln Service/USbank. She was such a joy to be around, a warm and loving person. She had a wonderful sense of humor and lit up a room with her smile. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your loss.

Phyllis touched the lives of many people while working for Lincoln Service. I have so many pleasant memories of her, her practical jokes were always amusing and that crazy picture of the concrete bear throwing a snow ball that she kept in her office was always a good conversational piece. How lucky we are to have had the pleasure of working with this "Special Lady". Rest In Piece and God Bless to the Family for their loss.

I had the pleasure of working with Phyllis at the bank. She was such a wonderful person to be around and a great friend. We would have gripe fests about finding pants that were long enough. May she rest in peace and God Bless and comfort you all.

I worked with Phyllis at Lincoln Service and always enjoyed our chats and exchanges over UK/IU basketball. I still have some hotpads she crocheted for me. There is a message on her cell phone from me that I left yesterday. We will all miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your loss.

I worked with Phyllis at Lincoln Service and she was a very dear lady. I will miss her. She was a good listner and a shoulder to cry on. Always gave good advice. I'm sure she is working the communication system in heaven.
