This is a very nice tribute to Phyllis. One of the ways of feeling losses, grieving and healing is to celebrate pleasant memories. It is also lovely to show appreciation for her fanship. You are an appreciative and generous member of this group. Well expressed.

Yes, the 'personability' of Bowl of Stew certainly endeared her to so many here that might otherwise had not 'met' her... She will be sorely missed as she did to me as you say here, fanned me way in the beginning... :) Yvette

Thank you so much. My goal was to appreciate and honor our dear Phyllis. She reminded me of Lucille Ball.

Dear Sally,
This is a wonderful tribute to a terrific Fanstory writer. Her absence will be felt. We've all had a chance to experience her talent. I still remember Melissa and Dean so well.
Thanks for posting your thoughts.

nice words, nicely written. Your love for Phyllis and her skills, along with your sharing with her of pleasure in the FanStory site shines through. I suspect that somewhere are many more chapters that will highlight all the facets of Phyllis.

Comment from Louise Michelle
What a poignant goodbye letter. Fan Story was her home and she spent quite a lot of time here. I'm glad she touched you so deeply. I've been coming here on and off for a long time and I forget how important it is for newbies to feel accepted. Hugs, Lou

Well said and well written, Sally. Your heartfelt words really make an impact. The inclusion of personal memories made it poignant and sad too. A very fitting memorial write to dear Phyllis. :)

Thank you, dear Melissa. Don't you leave me because I will have a cow. I comfort myself that Phyllis gets new lungs and she can sprint the heavens.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Another lovely tribute for Phyllis, dear Sally. She was a friend to all of us and helped us in many different ways. I'll miss her terribly, and can't see FS will ever recover from losing one of the best talents we've had. Your tribute will be a fine addition to this book filled with outpourings of love. Warm hugs, Sandra xx

It's been a hard blow, especially after losing Michael and Dean. We really are a tight-knit group and a wonderful place to be. Let's not forget how special every person is, and each day we have to influence others with our writing. She certainly influenced many.
Sending you my best today as always, Sandra, dear.

A beautiful tribute to someone special, who, I can only surmise touched your heart and you will never, ever forget. Writing a note, a letter adds a special touch and oh! if we could only send them. Have that last correspondence, but then, we'd only want for more, I suppose!
You do her memory proud!

She was a special one a real humorist. She was the Lucille Ball of FanStory. Can't get enough laughter in these days. So glad you were touched.
Sending you my best today as always,
