March 22, 2023 at 12:49 pmChris, I am feeling the loss of Phyllis, my closet and dearest friend. I know what you feel is much greater because that is half of your soul. Know that I’m praying for you and everyone in the family. I’m always here for you. God took an Angel from this earth and now she is no longer in pain. We were blessed to be by her beside when she left this earth and I hope that brings you a little comfort. Rest in peace, Phyllis.

March 22, 2023 at 8:03 amOh Chris, I’m so sorry. Your love for your wife was heartwarming. I remember your smiling bright face when talking about vacations with her (and her luggage!). I’m grateful she longer has to deal with illness, but that doesn’t help the hole you must feel in your heart. You and your family are in our prayers. Sending love and peace. We miss you, Sheri and Judd Knecht (previously 6049 Newport Ave)

Vince and I were heartbroken when we heard the news about Phyllis. You are in our hearts and deepest thoughts during this difficult time. As I read Phyllis’s obituary – I see that we share the same birthday of February 17th and my father’s was March 17th. Also – my maiden name is Compton. I see much connection with Phyllis and so wish I could have met her. Take care of you, my friend, Susan
