My dear sweet aunt Phyllis. I still can’t believe you’re gone. This was so sudden. Everything happened so fast. You did so much for me and kept pushing me in the right direction. Thank you for all that you did. Even though
we all lost you , heaven gained another angel. You will be missed. I love you
Chuck
Our last Christmas together. You will be missed
She will surely be missed by her sisters and friends. RIP Phyllis.
Love and prayers to my friend Angel Phyllis and her family! I worked with Phyllis in 1975 when I worked for Judge Luke in our Daytona Beach law office. She was working for Ray Cass to pay off her now deceased husband’s legal bills, no questions asked and quietly did this with love and marriage commitment vows. Phyllis was such a sweet and special person. She smoked cigarettes a lot…I hope it didn’t catch up to her health. Phyllis sewed a bridesmaid dress for me so I could be in a wedding back then! A few years ago, I caught up with her and called her in her hometown of Cedar Town, Georgia. We had a great catch up visit! I found out that she had reconciled with her husband Mike way before he passed away in a tragic accident where a boulder had fallen on him. So sad.
I loved Phyllis. I will never, ever forget her. I’m heartbroken that she left for heaven before I called her yesterday. Those were good times.
Family didn’t know our special days! I know you have had many since then.
Love, Lisa Redman Powers, Ponce Inlet, Florida 💔💔💔🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️♾
