I worked with Phyllis at Bentwood Farm in the mid 1980s. She was so warm and kind and funny. She and many others at the farm made me feel welcome and at home even though I was not a Texas native. I look back on those years fondly.
Phyllis was the best Sister-in-Law anyone could ever ask for, she was one of the kindest and genuine ladies I’ve ever known. I”ll never forget her calling me her “Best BIL”…..hope ya catch the biggest fish in Heaven……….
