I first met Phyliss at The Aurora Theater where she was working as a concession area volunteer. She saw a button I was wearing;; “ask me about Medicare” and she did. Over the years I came to know Phyliss as the special person she was. Over the years I valued our relationship and having the good fortunate to have met that day at the Aurora.
Met Phyllis at holiday gatherings at Bruce and Allan”s house for several years. She was always fun to be around. She will be greatly missed.
