I worked with Phyllis in the Washington Navy Yard many years ago. She was the most kind caring person I have ever known. I am deeply sorry for your loss and I share in your grief.

I’m so sorry to hear of Phyllis’s passing. She was a strong woman, boss. We got to visit her and Jimmy in Florida a few times. May she Rest In Peace.
Phyllis, I remember how nice you were to me when I met you at the Elks Lodge, Kissimmee. You were so kind. May you rest in peace and take your place in heaven.
So sorry to hear this. I went to high school with Phyllis, and we did graduate from Calvert Senior High in 1964. Have good memories of those years. Prayers for all of you.
