I was very saddened by Phyllis' death. We were friends from the time we both arrived at Fleming School until she moved away to Calgary. We shared much. We lived together in an apartment for a year, until both of us married. We quilted, embroidered, played cards and learned to play bridge. She organized a trip to Hawaii with Gordon's harem - 4 woman and 1 male. Later Phyllis, Gordon and I joined Marg Cullen on a trip to New Zealand and Australia. After I moved to Winnipeg, Phyllis offered a place for me to stay whenever I came to Brandon. She planned a luncheon with mutual friends every time. Marg Cullen took over this role after she moved. She babysat when we attended the funerals of Gordon's parents. She was a good friend in many ways to everyone she met.
