  3. In a short time Phyllis became very dear to me. Started through Kindred Lutheran Church & coffee fellowship following services. She was so easy to like with such a warm heart. She would say “stop in for coffee” so I started doing that sometimes bringing goodies to share. Curt & Phyllis always had stories to tell, I felt very welcomed in their home. Phyllis I will miss you greatly! You are singing with the angels in your Heavenly home.
