Tom and family,
I am so incredibly sorry. I loved Phyllis very much. I felt like she was the sister that I never had. I felt an instant connection to her when I applied for the job at Wesley Day Advertising. She taught me so much, mentally and emotionally. She had the patient of a saint when I was learning my job. She was truly one of the best people I have ever known. I was so lucky to have had her for a friend. We will all miss her very much.

Tom & Family:
Please accept our deepest sympathy at this time. Bailey & Mary Lou shared the sad news with us yesterday. As one of your newer neighbors, we're sorry we didn't have a chance to get to know Phyllis because she is so well thought of by your friends in the neighborhood.
If we can be of any help at any time in the difficult days ahead, please just walk across the back yard and knock on the door, or call. We're here if we can do anything at all for you.
God bless,
