A few of my strongest memories of Aunt Phyllis are eating at Russell’s barbecue with the family and how she liked Donna Summer. I also appreciate how not long before my father died, Aunt Phyllis and Donna drove 1 1/2 to 2 hours one way to visit him in the hospital. That was an example of her caring heart. She had a positive and cheerful disposition that will be missed. My condolences to David and Donna.
