Two (2) years passed by very fast. 

I met this eloquent, friendly, beautiful, forthright and very nice lady more than 40 yrs ago when I became a part of the Paisley ave family. Mrs Grant as she was affectionately called by me was like my sister. She was very helpful in guiding through some of the most trouble sometimes of my life.
As a trained nurse, she used her skill to help all those who needed help. It doesn't matter the time of day or night, she would avail herself to assist in any way possible. I recall an incident when my husband became ill. At about 1am I drove to her home and called her. Without hesitatation she came and stabilized him and stayed with until she was sure he would be ok. That was the person she was.
She was the the loving and caring godmother to my daughter.
A friend, confidant, she was and more. 
Phyllis Grant was that one in a lifetime gem that comes in your life and passes through like the wind. 
I miss her calls, her daily selfies and that captivating and winsome smile. 
Rest well my friend. I hope to see you in the morning. 
To Andrew, Jean, and Chris deep condolences rest assured, your mom was a one of a kind woman. I am sure you are calling her blessed. 

As a coworker of Jean Ann for many years,  I have had the pleasure of meeting her lovely mother Phyllis on several occasions.   She was always delightful and sweet, with a caring heart and a kind word.  It was my pleasure to have met her.  May she rest in peace. 

Father Thank you for having sent your daughter, Phyllis, to us. She accomplished according to your will. We are Grateful you sent her. We are better because of her.  I know my own decisions about my life path show signs of her love for all, and her intent for us all to triumph over challenges. Father, Thank you for sharing your Angel with us. We continue to Bless Andrew, Jean-Ann, and Christopher. Provide them peace, as their Dear Mother makes her way back to you. May her Soul Rest In Peace. Amen

Phyllis and I were good domino partners.... Standing out in my mind now was at a social at Maypen Baptist church both of us took on some men who boast of their ability to win domino games. 

But Phyllis and I taught them a good lesson that evening stopping them in their boasting tracks  with 2 sets of SIX (6) nils. the first one they claimed they underestimated us so we gave them the benefit to put it all together and come again....this they did but was beaten again...we then told them to pack it up....
I have her special domino as memory...and will represent her well .

She has been like a mother to me (and a grandmother to my two daughters) in so many ways...sadly she passed away the same date my biological mother passed away. Double grief..  But her encouragement, her sweet captivating laughter and smile will be my comfort in this time of loss. Our rich short 9 years of special bond will serve as stepping stones to becoming better the person we strive to be.  
Her unique way of reaching deep into you to praise, uplift, just to call to hear if we are ok (even a week and some days  before her passing she had her daughter call me so she could hear from me, her voice had gotten so low as she was weak but said she just wanted to hear from me if I was ok and to say she was thinking of me) to encourage etc. Ours was a bond money cannot ever buy. 

The comfort I take from loosing both moms same date is this.....they have ran their leg of life's race and have only transitioned( crossed over) before us...but left us a wealth of love and good example of how one should live their earthly lives. Earth has lost a rare unique GEM

Condolences to the families.

Regards Donna

Andrew, Jean & Chris please accept my sincere condolences at this solemn time.  Please know that your mother was really loved. 

Phyllis was kind, loving, genuine and peaceful. Her winsome smile would light up a room.  She always makes you feel special as if you are the only person around.  I will cherish her friendship forever and will always remember those “crabfests”. 

Phyllis I love you and will miss you immensely. You have fought a good fight. May your soul RIP and the light of God perpetually shine on you. 

Walk good mi sista!! 

Phyllis was a friend who was loving, caring, generous and humble. Her smile and laughter were infectious and she was easy to get on with. Phyllis will always be remembered for her warmth.
Condolences to her family. We love you best but Jesus loves you more.
Rest in peace my sister.

I pray that God will strengthen all members of the Gordon and Grant clans, especially her sister, Iceline Gordon, and her three children Andrew Gordon-Grant, Jean-Ann Grant, and Christopher Grant, grandchildren. and all her nieces, nephews, in-laws, other family, and friends. Let us all keep the positive memories that we have  of Aunt Phyllis and let them comfort us. May we all find peace and may there be love and harmony. Now is the time to lean on each other and God. Remember God’s promise in Hebrews 13:5 “I will never leave you or forsake you” 
Sleep in Peace Aunt Phyllis
You live on in our hearts.

I worked with Phylis at Lionel Town Hospital in Jamaica, many years ago. Since then, we have been good friends. She was an efficient Nurse and the Queen at Lionel Town Hospital.  Phylis always loved to cook, entertain and invite people to her home. She loved to eat crab, and always wanted me to eat it. No matter how it was prepared, she was unsuccessful. She would always say, “Come on Winsome it is nice”, but still, I couldn’t eat it. She was very good to my daughter, Tricia. On weekends, she would take Tricia to her home and Tricia always had a wonderful time. Phylis has done her work on earth and the Lord has taken her home. May her soul rest in peace.

Mrs Grant as we called her, was a very caring lady.  She was a great person who was never too busy to assist my family when she was able to.  I remember the many trips I made from St.Mary to May Pen, Clarendon , to pick up medications for my mother. She always met me with a smile.  It didn't matter what was happening, Mrs Grant was always smiling.  
God saw it fit to remove her from this terrible times.  He knows best! May God embrace her children and grant them His peace in this time of grief and pain.  
From the Rhoden's family 🙏🙏.

My dear Phyllis I struggled with where to start as there are so many beautiful memories.  I know your time was drawing near but was still hoping for divine intervention but the Lord knows best that its time for you to rest. 

My trips to Florida will not be the same. I would look forward to seeing you when I exited the airport or if you are not there you are home preparing meal for us. Our shopping trips especially to one of your favorite stores - Ross is a must. Your frequent calls to check on what Fay an i are doing and what time you will be picked up was one of your hallmarks. 

You were such a beautiful and caring person . I admired the way you fitted in the Grants family and never one moment hesitate to help. Sister I will miss you. 

You never miss an opportunity to say "Thank you". 

Andrew, Jean Ann and Chris my deepest condolences . Your mom is at rest. Lets cherish the beautiful memories.  There are many.

Sleep well Phyl. Love always


Our deepest condolences to Andrew, Jean, Christopher and the Family of my Aunt Phyllis.

These are sad times for us all and our thoughts are with you today.

Lots of great memories, but mainly of her being fun to be around.

She will be missed and will never be forgotten.

Forever in our hearts.

Gary and Diane Davis & Family xx

My life has certainly been enriched since I met Phyllis Grant and her family. I give thanks for her life;  the pleasant memories as her employee, business partner and friend. I am truly grateful that our paths crossed in this life.                                                                                                                       Her ever present smile and her energetic laugh will always be remembered.  Her love and care for everyone she encountered, her fierce love and care for her family and her husband's family was remarkable.                                                                                                                                                My condolences to Andrew, Jean-Ann, Christopher, her extended family and numerous close friends. I know when we cry we are crying for our loss. I encourage you to take comfort in the wonderful memories of a beautiful life and that Phyllis Grant is in a beautiful place of painless rest. 

Auntie Phyllis and I shared many happy moments together and I will always cherished them. Her love, kindness, smiles, sense of humor, the many times she accompanied me to my doctors, being there when I had my surgeries, stopping in at my apartment to have coffee with. 
My fondest memories of her is, as a child she expressed this passion for teaching  and a florist. Her mom noticed her passes especially in teaching so she made her stuffed dolls, got her a blackboard,chalk, and auntie began her classroom with her dolls. Should she asked her students a question and the answer is incorrect, she used the stick and hit the student(s) ...Remember now this was not real but an imaginary thought of her being a teacher. As she grew older, she succeeded  in passing her examinations and was offered a position in teaching at the Cacoon All Age School . So many memories of my auntie that would take forever to share. She loved her children, grandchildren, relatives, friends but her love for God was # 1. We will miss the happy memorable times but we are reminded at Acts 24:15 "AND I HAVE HOPE TOWARD GOD, WHICH HOPE THESE MEN ALSO LOOK FORWARD TO, THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE A RESURRECTION OF BOTH THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE UNRIGHTEOUS!" ...  Auntie Phyllis is a part of that HOPE and I do look forward not seeing her and all our past loved-ones in the Resurrection Call.  I pray that Jehovah God will give comfort and strength to her children and grandchildren non this time of grief.  (Lynda Staley, niece).


You’re precious smile along with your infectious laughter will always remain in my thoughts.

Such a beautiful lady inside and out, always finding time for people who needed care, such a heart of gold.
My children, Michael, David, James and Emily will always take you and Roy (Uncle Roy) in their hearts as part of their history, no visit was complete until they saw you both.

Thank you for the way you cared for my parents in their troubled times.

You’re gone from earth but will never be forgotten.
When I think of you, I think of love and respect,
Just what is needed in this world.
Your sophistication was second to none, you could light up a stadium with your warm affection and smile.
Always in our hearts and thoughts ♥️♥️♥️

Sis Phyllis Grant was very thoughtful, caring, helpful, peaceful, amicable, kind, humble, generous and influential. She would go overboard or bend backwards to see to the needs of others. Phyllis loved the Lord and lived her life to depict that. She also loved her family and would always put them first. She was very jovial and enjoyed having a good laugh. Rest in peace Sis Phyllis. You will be sadly missed.

Andrew, Jeanann, Christopher. Accept deepest condolences. I pray that God will comfort you in this time of bereavement. It's not easy but God will strengthen you. Just hold on to those wonderful memories of your Mom ,they  always stay with you. Your mother lived an exemplary life and all of us who were fortunate to make her acquaintance have a similar story to tell. You are in my thoughts and prayers 🙏🙏 God bless.


To the bereaved family, may you find comfort knowing that God will not leave you or forsake you.  Look to Him for strength. She may be gone but the moments you shared will live in your memories forever.  Rest In Peace Mrs. Grant. You will be missed.

Aunt Phyllis,
There is no need for tears 
Thanking God for all those years
I will keep your memory in my heart
From God you will not  depart
You are now at peace and your soul is at rest 
We love you, but God love you best

Your niece, 
Judith

Godmother, I always thought you would live forever. I am so saddened by your passing. You were truly and amazing person. You are the Godmother that fairytales write about. Your advise , your smile and your refined demeanour will stay with me forever. In true Godmother style you made sure my baby was baptized/christened in your Church while we were on vacation. We will always have that memory. You’ve never missed my Birthday(I knew something was wrong when I didn’t receive that phone call). Even as an adult, I expected-hoped you would live forever. You were my Godmother. You were a fairytale. You were an angel sent from God. I love you and miss you more than words can express. You will truly live forever in my heart and memory. Rest In Him Godmother. May God bless you and keep you. May your soul find comfort in Him. You have taken care of so many people. It’s time for you to rest in the arms of Jesus. Sleep in Peace sweet Fairy Godmother Angel  of Heaven. Sleep in Peace....
