Thanks so much for your review and comments, Dolly. Phyllis will indeed be missed here on FS. I've read many of her novels and loved her Penguin poems and Bowl of Stew. I just recently became aware that she was also quite a poet. judi

Phyllis was wonderful, and she's going to be missed. Her stories and poems were inspirational and her reviews were always honest and helpful. I wish I could have met her in person. I never had the opportunity, but I still feel like I lost a good friend.

Thanks so much for your review and comments. Phyllis had so many sides to her writing. I just became aware of her poetry a few months ago, except the Penguin poems, which I enjoyed so much. judi

Your tribute to Phyllis and her memory is very moving and well-detailed.
you gave specific examples in speaking of her versatility and skills as a writer. This is a great addition for the book.

Hi, Janice, and thanks for your review and comments. Phyllis will certainly be missed. We've lost so many of the pillars of FanStory recently. judi

Thanks so much for your review and comments. She wrote frequently about what a wonderful husband Mark had been. She was blessed to have him and FanStory to see her through her illness. judi

Hi Judi
This is a very fine tribute to one of Fanstory's best authors. I didn't know about her passing, having been away so much these past few years. But I do know that such talent will be missed in this family of writers. I think of Melissa and Dean at these times. These writers can't be replaced.
Thanks for posting your thoughts, Judi.

Thanks so much for your review and comments, with special thanks for the lovely six stars. I knew Phyllis suffered for several years and was pretty much confined to her home, but her death was still a shock. She was a wonderful writer. judi

Well written with detailed stories about her novels and poems. Phyllis had to deal with her son's betrayal. My heart ached at that time. Mark was heck of a supporter.

Thanks for your review, Spitfire. Special thank you for the lovely six stars. I had been wondering about you and hoping you're doing well. Phyllis wasn't one to complain about her situation, regardless of her pain and impatience with being so confined. judi

I'll try to put on a post today,

Thanks again for your great review. Phyllis often wrote about Mark and what a great source of strength he was. He must be devastated. I'll be looking forward to hearing from you. judi

I didn't know Phyllis well at all, having only been a Fanstorian for a short time but I always valued her input and enjoyed her varied, but always entertaining writings.

Thanks for your review and comments. I had been a fan of Phyllis's for maybe five years and read several of her novels. I really enjoyed her Penguin poems. She'll be remembered for a long time. judi

Thanks for your review and comments. We sometimes laughed about the length of her novels! I always looked forward to those Penguin poems. Phyllis was amazingly talented. judi

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about our dear friend whom we never met. Yes, she wrote poetry, novels - so many! I'll never know how she managed to do that plus keep making friends reviewing here.

Thanks so much for your review and comments. She wrote more novels than I can imagine. I wasn't aware of her poetry, except the Penguins, until just a few months ago. judi
