I am so sad to hear about Phyllis....she was my mom's closest and dearest friend. I have very fond memories of growing up with all of you and hanging out at your house. Your mom always welcomed the neighborhood kids. May she rest in peace.

So sorry to hear of her passing. I worked at Stone and Thomas, and we lived up on Westmoreland hill area and she and my mom sometimes road the bus to work together. She was a very sweet lady.

To the family of Phyllis Van Camp,
I am so sorry for your loss, she was such a good friend to my mother (Frances Smith). They met when they were in the hospital having rehab together and stayed in touch since. She was a great friend to me also, we kept in touch after moms passing. I'm so glad I we got to meet before she went back to Florida and have lunch. She was a very special friend that will be dearly missed.
Thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Mom, (Norma Kozak) just read about the loss of your Mom Phyllis this morning. She still remembered her and made comments of when Phyllis came to her house and the times they shared together. Since Clem and Sandy lived next door, their visits were often. The grief and sadness of your loss is shared by us.
God Bless

I loved your mom more than you'll ever know. I shall miss her greatly. I loved visiting and snow sledding down your hill on King st. Always a favorite memory of growing up and Thanksgiving.

My Aunt Phyllis was one of a kind. She was a beautiful red head who had a great sense of style. She always dressed and looked her best. She was kind and pleasant to be around. She always had something sweet to offer you if you went to visit her. When I was a very little girl we lived close to her, my mom caught me in the street (I wasn't allowed out of my yard by myself) when she asked where I was going I said Aunt Phyllis house- you see my baby sitter locked me out of my house and I knew my Aunt Phyllis would let me in her house. Needless to say that baby sitter got fired. As a small child I remember family Christmas parties at Aunt Phyllis house. She had lots of beautiful nic nacs and she enjoyed showing them to me. She loved to decorate for all the different holidays. She was a very special Aunt who I love very much. I will miss you Aunt Phyllis- but I will keep you memories with me forever.
