While growing up, I spent time with Phyllis and
her family. I cherish her and the things
I learned from her.
Phyllis always showered her family
with love and she shared incredible kindness
with those around her.
Phyllis is an amazing woman
with an enormous love for God in her heart.
I love you Phyllis
and I'll always hold you dear!

Nothing like a life-time friend. They are very blessed.
Oh, this made me smile all over ... especially seeing the final picture! What's that saying about certain friends are family we get to choose for ourselves?
Phyllis sounds like a very special lady indeed!
I love this post! Such a sweet and precious tribute to your mom and her BFF! Wonderful photos. My mom kept in touch with her BFF from elementary school until she (my momma) passed away in 1996. Friendships of the heart stand the test of time and the distance.
Happy weekend to you!
Such a heart warming story. The older we get the more we treasure our dearest friends.
