We appreciated the faithfulness of Phyllis to our church. She was a blessing to us all at Fellowship. We cherish the memories of sharing in Sunday school, singing in the choir and worshiping our Lord together. We will always remember Phyllis as a good example of what a Christian lady should be. We will remember family in our prayers in the days ahead and look forward to seeing Phyllis again in heaven.
