Phil, Patty & family,
I am so sorry to hear about Phyllis. She was such a dear sweet lady and I enjoyed being in the choir with her for many years at First Church of God, Shelby. She was such a loving and caring person and I know that she will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I pray that you will let God be your strength and comfort at this time.

So very sorry Phil and family to hear of Phyllis’s passing. She & I worked together at the First Church of God in Shelby during the former teenager’s program on Friday nights and I simply loved her. She was a good friend and wonderful lady and she will be missed…
