I’m so saddened to hear of Phyllis’ passing. My love and condolences go out to her wonderful family! I have fond memories of Phylis when I was a child visiting with my mom who was a very dear friend. My mom just spoke to Phyllis a week ago and was so sad to hear of her passing.
Phyllis was always a ray of sunshine! She was brilliant and beautiful! We will miss her dearly.
Love and light Phyllis, may you dance with the angels.
All our love,
Lori and Greg Filerman
(And fern Kahn sends her love and condolences as well. They were wonderful childhood friends. ❤️

I will miss Phyllis so much. I had the honor of meeting her when she moved to Sedgebrook, and got to know her as I cared for her at the Medical Center and also as one of her caregiver. Phyllis loved trivia and jokes/riddles. I will miss challenging you with them and your laughter at the jokes. I will especially miss your laughter when I called you by the nickname I gave you, "Dimples". I will never forget you, Dimples. May you be surrounded by many smiling Angels that match your smile. My sincere and deepest condolences to Phyllis' family..
Love, Anita
