Phyllis was a great sister-in-law & always full of fun. Whenever she was around there was a laugh heard & it usually came from her comment or from her. Lou & Phyllis were great hosts as well as great company. We will miss her a lot & our sympathies go to her entire family as they treasured her presence dearly. Love David & Lea. - Posted by: David & Lea Menard (Brother & Sister in law) on: Apr 25, 2015
