James, sorry to hear about Phyllis. She was a lady with many talents, playing piano, sewing,knitting, cooking, baking, and had a green thumb that could grow house plants, nobody else ever could. She was always willing to share any little helpful hint she had, and had a caring, kind heart. She was a good friend, and those that didn’t get a chance to know her, missed out. I am happy to have had the pleasure. I know you will miss her very much. You meant alot to her, and she loved you very much.
GOD SPEED, DEAR PHYLLIS
Your friend, Nancy Scheer
