    So sorry to hear about Phyllis. Although it's been many years since we've all seen each other, I remember when we were little and used to visit Phyllis and Dick (and family) on one of our trips to Shelbyville. Lots of love during this hard time ~ Marcy Richeson (Bill and Carleen's daughter)

    Phyllis welcomed me to the Conversation Club. As I was new to Bloomington, I needed guidance during the time I served at president and vice-president. She was always there for me. She will be missed.
