Our Aunt Phyllis has been such an important part of every family milestone for most of our lives. Whether is was a baptism or graduation, Christmas or Thanksgiving, wedding or funeral, her place at the table was set and her presence sought by all. Her strength, sense of purpose, independence, sense of humor and family pride will continue as we remember her with great affection!
