Phyllis was a true joy to be with, and watch! Always helpful, happy, and so in love with Walt. We invited her to a girls lunch and she said “where I go-Walt goes”. We enjoyed Phyllis and Walt and had a great Lunch. She played a good bass for awhile, but I think she liked her knitting etc., more, and turned out beautiful hand work. She will be missed, but the memories of her and Walt will last a lifetime. She blessed us GREATLY. LUV you guys.

Dear Walt, my prayers are with you. Phyllis has left a huge hole in our hearts. I will especially miss playing golf with her because she was always so full of witty sayings and her laugh was so infectious. I’m so glad that I was able to call her a friend of mine. Tracie.
