I remember Phyllis well from school, and when Duane and I moved here on So. 38th St. Phyllis was our neighbor on QR Ave. She was a hard working lady and enjoyed her family and friends and will be missed by all who knew her. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her son and family and pray God brings them comfort in the days to come.
