GUESTBOOK
We had some wonderful times with Phyllis and with all of you - lots of happy choir memories, going to the Big Wheel, parties and just really good times. I've never been more surprised than walking down the aisle and seeing the Bryant's - that was SO special and our few visits after that. Our thoughts and prayers are with you girls - take good care of each other and live your best lives. Love, -Rich and Shelley Dennis

We will miss Phyllis and her smile and loving spirit. -Sharon K. Harris
