Dear Ola, Annette and All of Phyllis' family, We are so sorry to hear of Phyllis' passing. We know she has been very ill and are certain that she is with Jesus right now and hugging everyone that she has been missing here in this world.
One of my favorite memories with her was playing at her home, when we were growing up and of course spending a lot of time with her at the Church of God of Prophecy in Bertrand where she was always smiling and always kind to everyone. We will keep you in our prayers.
