So sorry for your loss. But we can be sure Phyllis is in a better place with her Lord. Marilyn and I have very fond memories of Phyllis and Dan while we attended the Forrest Home Church of the Nazarene in our years from 2011 and 2015. We wish we could attend but of course it's just a little far for us to make it. We wish to let Dan and his family know we will be thinking and praying for them.

Phyllis was such a sweet, dear lady. She was funny, spunky, full of laughter, dedicated and faithful to her calling in Christ. She has already been ushered into the presence of her savior and Lord Jesus Christ! Her family will shed many tears for the loss of her physical presence here on earth! The loss of your wife, mother & grandma is going to pierce your heart and soul for some time. I pray God’s peace would comfort you during this time.
