I'm so sorry for your loss. Phyllis was a very unique person, she was beautiful inside and out. I always remember her when I worked with her the way she dressed, I would tell her you look beautiful today let me see your high heels, and sure enough they matched what never outfit she was wearing. I don't know how she found those heels, but they matched her outfit. I will miss you, Phyllis
