Gary and Steve, my condolences to the two of you. I wish I could have talked with her after she went in the hospitallI never had a friend like Phyllis, she was part of a click, along with Jo Ann Spencer, I remember we were called that at TACO one year because you would see us together most of the time. But she and I have been writing, sending cards, and talking on the phone since about 1968, when I moved to Ga. No words can express how much I thought of your mom and all the fun and laughter we had back in the day. Prayers for you both and she will be missed so much. Loved her, "To The Moon and Back", as she would say in her cards and letter.
