    I grew up 2 doors away from Phyllis. We had a wonderful childhood and we did so much. We climbed trees in the woods, played miniature golf in the woods where we all made a miniature golf course. We went to the swimming pool together. In the winter we sled ride aunt made forts in the snow. We all had a great time and enjoyed our childhood. So sorry for your loss. Loretta Crouso Colflesh

    Phyllis was a long time customer of mine and a wonderful lady. She was always so nice and respectful to everyone at the station. She introduced us to Bill and we have been friends ever since. I'm so glad Connie and I were able to visit Phyllis and Bill in Aruba in 2017 and see them happy and relaxed. Deepest sympathy to you Bill and your family. Phyllis will be missed by all of us who knew her.

    Mimi you were the best grandmother anyone could ask for. I absolutely loved going to your house every holiday and for every sleepover. Today I was looking back, it's been 3 years since you've passed. I'm about to be a senior, wish you could've seen me graduate. I miss you more and more every day. I miss your scent, laugh, hugs, sleeping over, baking with you, going to the park, etc. Sometimes I smell your lotion, certain smells bring me back to you. I remember when you'd call me "madisue". I wish you didn't have to leave us so soon. We miss you every minute. I love you. See you later.love madie, her granddaughter
