  1. Oh my heart is so sad. I loved Phyllis so much. We only knew each other a few years but during that time we became good friends. We shared a lot of special times and conversations and memories of our families. What a great lady! She was always so “in the know” about things and I cherish those times with her. Going to the beauty shop and out to lunch and watching the “soaps” in the afternoons. So very thankful that she was a special part of my life. Glad we were able to celebrate her birthday together in November. You will be missed my friend. Kimberly ~ you were a great caregiver and niece to her. Much love to you, David, and your family. She would not want us to be sad! Phyllis Jamison

    My thoughts and prayers are with you and all your family as you mourn the loss of your precious Phyllis. She is loved and her memory will be treasured by all the Abernethy UMC family. Her sweet spirit and kindness showed me the love of Jesus, and I am thankful to have become acquainted with her.

  5. Phyllis and Howard were the first couple I met when I moved to St. Johns Commons 17 years ago. They were so friendly and kind. They lived two doors from me. I retired from the American Red Cross and Howard was a volunteer there, so we had mutual friends. Phyllis will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
