Phylis was an amazing women. I had the pleasure of working with her. When i first started there. I would see her in the morning. We would say Hi to each other. Sometimes we would sit in her office. She would talk with me about the kito diet. She would always be there if you needed her. She was a tough cookie, but she had a heart of gold. I'm truly sorry for your guys loss. May she fly high. Phylis will never be forgotten.

She will always mean more to me than I can put into words. When my mother passed away, she drove more than four hours to be there for her celebration of life. I had no idea she was coming, and that act of love has stayed with me ever since. She was like a second mother to me, and I will miss her more deeply than words can express. My heartfelt condolences go out to her family. They have lost an amazing woman, and she will be deeply missed.
