My deepest sympathy goes out to the entire family & friends of Phyllis. I have fond memories of her going as far back to when Tammy had a slumber party when we were kids. And the years past & I would see her demoing food at Walmart. I remember her as one heck of a lady. She will be missed by so many. God Bless Her!

My condolences to Tammy Newell and family on the passing of her mother. Irrespective of how much one can think they are prepared, it is never easy to lose a parent. My thoughts and prayer are with you Tammy.--Bill
