Dear Sharon, Brigham and family -

Please accept my deepest sympathy at the passing of Phyllis. I will always remember her hospitality and friendship when we would descend upon Estill with Jebby. I really felt welcome in your home and a part of the family.

Please know that I will remember your mother fondly and that I think of her and Jebby almost daily.

Best wishes.

John Currie and family

I had the pleasure and honor of working with Phyllis when I taught computer classes at Patrick Henry Academy in 1997. She was a well of knowledge and a caring and giving person who was always thinking of others and doing what she could each day to be helpful in whatever way she could. She was loved and respected by all who knew her. I often thought she wasn't thanked enough for all she did. I will always remember her as a good person, and I know she will be missed by many.
