Cathy and Joe. Thank you so much for your love for my mama!
Saturday's celebration was such a beautiful tribute to Phyllis. Atmosphere, fellowship, singing, Caleb's touching remembrance and prayer, food, and attendance by so many who loved Phyllis... it was all just right! I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to speak to everyone before we had to leave. Joe and I are so glad we were there. Phyllis made such a difference in our lives (topped off by the fact she introduced us) and I learned so much from her (which would include that I can still be friends with someone who called me "a little ****"). Phyllis told me many times she was a Christian who by definition was saved by the blood of Christ. Even though she is now beyond all human cares I'm sure she'd be pleased with what was done in her memory on Saturday.
Everything that has been said about Phyllis is so true and to the point. She was a card. She made me smile when I saw her and really wonder what was going on in her pretty little head. She will be missed. She was a special woman. Sure would be nice if we all treated life like she did. Great words Kira!

Thanks so much Andy! I don't believe in coincidence, just God's providence. He laid her on your mind for a reason, if only to share what you had to share about what a beautiful person she was - "unending kindness" for the "least of them" How beautiful. Can't imagine how she could have glorified the Lord more! Thank you!
Thanks so much Michelle! I love how you expressed "she shared her paradise and created community." She loved people and was generous with the provisions she was given for all to share.
Thanks Mason! I'm sending you a pic of you and her in NO - I think we had a good (innocent!) time too in the FQ that weekend!
Indeed! Looking froward to seeing you!
Oh my! the first to mention gumbo over potato salad! Still my favorite! Thanks for sharing so many wonderful memories!
Thanks, Kira! so many wonderful memories shared. So many life lessons she taught - you'll never stop laughing if you learn to laugh at yourself! and never forget Illegitimus non carborundum - truly a good motto in life because our victory is in Christ!
It has been a few years since I saw Phyllis unfortunately. Tonight for some reason I decided to look her up... and I saw that she had just passed. Maybe a coincidence or maybe just feeling her incredible presence.
She made quite the impression on me. Her life experiences, her lifestyle, worldviews, unending kindness.
She'd take in stray people almost more than stray animals. Clean them up, give them a warm meal and loving care. The type of human I'm proud to walk the earth with.
I'll be forever touched by knowing Phyllis. Rest well - keep the party going on the other side!
