    I graduated in 1968 with Phyllis. I always remember her as such a sweet, shy, kind soul. I know that she is at peace with the Father. My prayers are for you, her family who will grieve her loss. It is the Father’s plan for us all to be together again someday. Until that time, I pray that God will wrap His loving arms around all of you and give you peace.

    Well I’m at a loss for words but I’m going to try to say what’s on my heart. Phyllis you was sooo kind and sooo sweet to me as a little kid growing up, but we almost totally lost contact as we both became adults. I have a few good memories and an occasional talk at Walmart but we were not close although we were family. You worked all your life and I sat at home and raised 4 kids. Phyllis I want you to know I didn’t go to your funeral not out of any disrespect but I just couldn’t bare seeing another family member laying in a coffin. Phyllis I wish I had been more of a part of your life, but I just want you to know I loved you for the sweet and very determined woman you were. I look forward to rejoicng with You and all my family and friends who have already gone home. I hate goodbye’s so I’ll just say RIP Phyllis until we meet again. Love, Jeannie

    I’m so sorry to hear about the death of your sister. I just happened across her obituary. Please accept our sincere condolences. Death is such an enemy…how grateful we will be when Revelation 21:4 is fulfilled. As you know our prayers are with you, your family and others experiencing this type of sadness. All our love to you and Judy.
