I played duplicate bridge with Phyllis. She and her partner were formidable but fun opponents. She will be missed.

Phyllis had many friends at INPO, and I consider myself one of them. She was a wonderful lady, happy, fun, smart, loving, kind, and an absolute pleasure to be around. I know she's in a better place now, and I will miss her. My prayers to her family.
