There are simply no words to describe how much we loved Aunt Phyllis. Uncle Tom lived with us when he started dating her. And I remember their wedding like it was yesterday. They were a stunning couple. And today we are mourning her death while at the same time celebrating the beautiful person she was. A devoted mother to Susan, Janet, Norma and Carol Anne ,she was so proud of all their accomplishments. And then along came their grandchildren who just expanded her heart with love and of course her great grandchildren. So many wonderful memories of childhood and beyond. When our parents died Aunt Phyllis and Uncle Tom welcomed us into their home and cooked wonderful comfort food for our whole family.Once we all grew and formed our own families, that door was always open. Stay over, she’d always urge and often she and Clar would banter back and forth while she told him to cook her breakfast. Such fun and never left without something to take home. Could be a bottle of moose or her delicious jam. We are heartbroken that she will not be there to visit this year. She was always interested in hearing stories about our lives and very encouraging. Our deepest condolences to all of the family. You are so close and will keep her with you through sharing her stories and through living your lives secure in the love you always received. She also had great faith and may that sustain you.
Know that you are in our prayers and you always can count on our support and love. We will be there in spirit and online on Monday and will remember her together this summer, please God. Much love and give each other lots of hugs. Madonna and Clark

Sending deepest condolences to the family. I have a very fond memory of being in a quilting class with Phyllis in our church basement. The quilt was called Trip Around the World and was taught by mother-in-law Nellie Brake. Rest In Peace sweet lady!

To the Gillam Family,
Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your Mother.
I have many fond memories of your mother and father visiting with my parents over the years. I especially remember the Saturday night get togethers when the four couples would enjoy going bowling, followed by a meal together. Afterwards the women would gather for a game of Rumoli while the men settled in for their small-stakes poker game. Those evenings were filled with friendship, laughter, and wonderful companionship.
Your Mother was a wonderful lady whose warmth and kindness will be remembered by all who knew her. She was an important part of many happy memories, and I feel fortunate to have known her.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.
Rest in Peace Phyllis.

I did meet Phyllis a few times during my years in Corner Brook. However, I heard Phyllis ‘s name many times. Having worked many wonderful years with Susan, we ate Phyllis’ food, and heard her words of wisdom . A wonderful person who made a difference in this world.
Cherish your memories and enjoy the laughs when sharing her stories.
In caring and remembrance,

Our sincere condolences to all of Aunt Phyllis's family. Our hearts are heavy knowing she will no longer be there to greet us every summer. She was very special and will forever live on in our hearts. We have so many wonderful memories shared in Curling and Bonne Bay pond. It is because of Aunt Phyllis that I love gardening. She had the most beautiful gardens! We were blessed to have her in our lives. Unfortunately we won't be able to attend the funeral but we're there in Spirit! I like to think she's with Uncle Tom smiling down on us.You've earned your wings now fly❤️

Our beautiful aunt Phyllis. My heart aches for you all. I loved to visit when home. Always welcomed with a cup of coffee and a lunch. The last time I was home, we went through her old photos, there was a lovely memory with every snapshot. I pray she had a peaceful journey.

Dear Family of Phyllis,
Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of Phyllis.
It was truly a privilege and an honor to know and care for her. Phyllis was a wonderful woman whose kindness, warmth, and beautiful spirit touched my life in many ways. She welcomed me with a genuine smile from the very first day I met her, and I will always cherish the memories we shared together.
One of the most meaningful memories for me is that my first day working with Phyllis fell on my birthday. She made me feel so welcome, and we shared lunch together. Her thoughtfulness and generosity were evident in everything she did. She even offered me a gift as a token of her kindness, although I was unable to accept it due to workplace policies. I was deeply touched by her gesture and will always remember it.
I will also treasure the time we spent together on Mother's Day, taking pictures, sharing lunch, and praying together to thank God for His blessings. We enjoyed working on puzzles, which she loved as a way to pass the time. During our conversations, she spoke lovingly about her husband and her beautiful children. I remember her mentioning that she no longer had the energy to travel to Toronto for a family wedding, yet she always spoke of her family with great love and pride.
Phyllis leaves behind many precious memories that will continue to live in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. I am grateful for the opportunity to have been part of her life, and I will never forget her kindness, faith, strength, and the joy she brought to those around her.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time. May God grant you comfort, strength, and peace, and may the loving memories of Phyllis bring you comfort in the days ahead.
With deepest sympathy,
Tina
