I’ve known Ms Phyllis for several years she was awesome to me and my children we will miss her so much and we loved her
Ms.Phyllis was my neighbor growing up. You won’t meet a more beautiful soul than her. She taught me how to drive, took me to Sonic weekly, and always baked me treats. I pray that God let’s perpetual light shine upon her.
I’ve just gotten to know Phyllis about 7 months ago and she instantly became my best friend! I’ll never forget how I told her I loved her everyday and then the one day she finally told me she loved me back I almost cried! She said she would never let that slip again! I enjoyed caring for her and being there by her side any and everyday that she needed me!
Phyllis (PJ), Linda Haag Newton, and myself use to all ran around together in Wheatland High School. Another member of the class of 1963 gone.
