Dear Blanchard Family,
I have witnessed for the past four months an amazing family truly devoted to their wife, mother, mother-in-law, sister and grandchildren. As Phyllis’s dear friend I was overwhelmed all of these moths to see such tender loving care given to my friend. She was so blessed by each one of you. She loved all of you dearly.
We had a special kind of friendship. If you have that kind of friendship once in your life you are extremely fortunate. I was fortunate.
I will always miss Phyllis. She was a part of my life daily. I find myself talking to her in my head and it brings me comfort. I can see her warm loving smile.
Eternally greatful,
Monica

Dear Jan and Family,
God saw her getting tired, a cure not meant to be, so He put his arms around her, and whispered…”Come with Me”.
In a time like this, where so many of us have an emptiness in our hearts, knowing that Phyllis is no longer tired or sick is such a comfort.
We loved Phyllis. We enjoyed her friendship. We could always count on a smile or a listening ear from her. We are better people and better friends to others because of Phyllis and the example she showed.
Phyllis will always have a spot in our hearts and our memories.
Love, Danielle and Jim
