    Phillis and I had a lot of fun together. We use to share rides when we would go into Hot Springs for singing engagements. She was always fun to be around and I always enjoyed her quirky personality. I miss her and Bill I know will, too. Love, Joy

    I met Phyllis in 2009 when I became involved in the Crystal Chimes. She was a dedicated baritone, who hosted our section practice in her home every week and always made me feel welcome and encouraged. I am very saddened to learn of her passing. My thoughts are with you, Bill, and your family.

    I remember the good times we had together in the Crystal Chimes, especially the shows and the afterglows at the house.
