Phyllis was a happy, lovable and entertainining person. It was always a happy and pleasant moment to meet and converse with her.  I recall how welcome she made me feel when I stopped at her home  uninvited to say hi to the family as I was in the neighborhood for other reasons.  No formality, no pretenses of any kind, just being her natural friendly self and happy to see and talk to someone she called a friend. May she be at His right side in peace knowing she has done what she was  called upon to de while in this transitory life and may her memory be a blessing.

Phyllis and her family were cherished friends of my family. Her passing has made the world a little less friendly, beautiful and compassionate. We convey to the family to be still, calm, and take responsibility for their grief, for in that way, they will find love anew, not only for the one they have lost, but for all others yet alive.
Our sincere condolence to the family.

Cyril and Lyn Agostini

To Elliot, the children, grandchildren and her sister Pat, 

Our deepest sympathy to all of you. 

Take comfort from these words below: 

Just think of her as resting
from the sorrows and the tears,
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days or years.

Think how she must be wishing
that we could know today,
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.

And think of her as living
in the hearts of those she touched,
for nothing loved is ever lost
and she was loved so much.

May she rest in peace and rise in glory.

From the Blackmans in Barbados.
 (Shirley, Walwyn, Tara and Kyle).




Mrs. P, as some of us, her former colleagues at FINRA affectionately referred to her , was my mentor/trainer but most importantly my friend.  Mrs. P, our friend Althea and I formed our own little breakfast club. Every day we were at work, we started the day in our office cafeteria discussing every issue under the sun from sports to politics.  We shared stories about our families and the various goings on in our lives.  And we laughed a lot.  I will always remember Mrs. P as a woman of elegance and grace, who also possessed a wicked sense of humor.  Thank you Mrs. P for the honor of allowing me to be a small part of your life. 

My send my condolences and prayers to the family.    

The Barbados Association of Washington, DC, Area Inc. (BAWDC) extends our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Ms. Phyllis Angela Parris.  May she Rest in Peace and rise again in glory!

Christ will gather in his own to the place where He has gone
Where their heart and treasure lie
Where our life is hid on high.
Day by day the voice says "Come enter thine eternal home
Asking not if we can spare this dear soul it summons there
Had he asked us well we know
We would cry  Lord spare this blow
Yes, with streaming tears would say
Lord we love her let her stay.

Phyl you will be dearly missed.  Rest in peace!

Phyllis and I worked together for many years.  In all the years I knew her, she never once greeted me without a genuine smile and a kind word.  She always made time to be helpful - she cared about people and she also cared about the work that we do here.  She will be missed! My most sincere sympathy goes out to her family.

My wife, Sherry,  and I extend our sincere sympathy to your family. Phyllis and I worked together for almost 20 years. She was a very delightful person who genuinely cared about her co-workers. 

Mrs. Parris, or affectionately referred to as Mrs. P by many of  her former co-workers, was my colleague, mentor/trainer and friend.  Our daily breakfast sessions, with our friend Althea, in our office cafeteria was the highlight of our workday, we nicknamed ourselves "The Breakfast Club".  We discussed, politics, social issues, sports, entertainment, work, literally everything.  But the topics that were most prominent were family and the various happenings and events of our lives. 

I will always remember Mrs. P as kind and warm, elegant and classy, but don't get it twisted, she also had a wicked sense of humor and did not shy away from expressing her genuine opinions. 

I consider it a blessing that I had the honor to have known her. 

Peace My Heart by Rabindranath Tagore
Peace, my heart, let the time for
the parting be sweet.
Let it not be a death but completeness.
Let love melt into memory and pain
into songs.
Let the flight through the sky end
in the folding of the wings over the
nest.
Let the last touch of your hands be
gentle like the flower of the night.
Stand still, O Beautiful End, for a
moment, and say your last words in
silence.
I bow to you and hold up my lamp 
to light you on your way. 

I recently met Phyllis through a mutual friend and found her to be very pleasant and kind. It is with much regret that her life was cut short before we could  fully cement the friendship
Let me take this opportunity to extend my deepest and heartfelt sympathy to the family.  
May her soul rest in peace and rise in glory.

I love  Phyllis. She was one of the sweetest people that I have ever known. I always looked forward to seeing her at family gatherings. In my mind, she was always going to be with us. I feel so fortunate that she cane into my family, but, at the same time, I feel short changed that the Lord took her home so soon. Her peaceful countenance will continue to be present and so appreciated within our extended family. My sincere condolences to the Parris family. Your hearts are in my heart. Love and peace.
