I am relatively new to fanstory, but what I noticed about Phyllis is when I reviewed her work, her reply was always very personal and insightful. I was looking forward to developing a friendship with her. Maybe I still can. Over coffee and, in my case, Sara Lee cake.

    Phyllis's work is still available to read and appreciate.I encourage you to do so. Just go to her portfolio and dip in. Phyllis would be happy for you to do that and you would have the chance to see how well read and wise she was in the ways of the world.Her understanding of Law and Order amazed me. Phyllis once told me she loved cake. Any kind of cake. So Sara Lee would be fine with her. cheers Cass

    Dear Dolly Thank you for your review and the five stars. The words were from my heart Dolly. They are no more than the plain and simple truth of what I feel at her passing. As you say she will be long remembered and missed. cheers Cass

I truly love the term you used to describe a very lovely person and the idea of having coffee and home made cake, made it so personal. Very well done and no problems noted

    The remark about the home made cake was an allusion to a conversation we had after saying how sad it was we were so far apart.
    Thank you for your review and the five stars, Barb it is reassuring to know my words are fitting for this occasion. cheers Casss

Written from the heart with warmth and longing to meet again. This was a lovely tribute to Blossom Child. "They shall not grow old, that we are left grow old, age shall not weary them nor the years condemn. We will see them again on those golden shores. Well done.

Cass, This is a very lovely chapter you have penned in the Saying Goodbye to Phyllis book. You used such sweet heart felt words that will probably bring comfort to her family and friends that love her too. She was a really precious lady! love and blessings, Teri

Cass,

THANK YOU for sharing so much of your heart with us. I think you've managed to say a lot of what I've been thinking but couldn't find a way to say. These words are beautiful and so heartfelt.

I did see a couple of nits and made notes for you - I hope you don't mind, but I thought this needed to shine as brightly as possible.

1.) You once told me that you were(space)"eager for death"(.)

2.) She was also a friend, a (counselor), a fund of wisdom

3.) Meet me at the gates when I get there darlin'(.) We'll have coffee

I know this will offer the family such comfort. Thank you.

    Dear Robyn thank you for your review and the five stars. Your remarks are most timely and acceptable and have been noted and acted upon. Thank you for being there to fix my little errors up. I hadn't noticed until you pointed them out and then (of course) they became glaringly obvious. cheers Cass

Hi Cass. This is heartfelt post on our dear Phyllis who was really enduring life under the circumstances of her limitations. Her illness kept her from breathing or doing much else. She will be missed. Hugs, Marilyn

    Dear Marilyn Thank you for your review and the five stars. These are words straight from my heart. I am so sad to be saying goodbye to her, but I am aware of what life was like for her, so another part of me is cheering her on. We will miss her, but she will be so happy where she now is, so let's be glad for her now she is restored to her once upon a time self. cheers Cass
