It was an honor to be friends with Phyllis. She loved her family and friends with a loyalty and fierceness that is not comparable. I loved her with my entire heart, but it wasn't just me. My children, and husband loved her just as much. She was always kind and fun and I swear, was 12 years old in her heart. She always sang to Big John and I at work, and her sweet voice and outrageous personality will be something I remember for the rest of my life. It was a blessing and a pleasure to have known her.
