What a lovely tribute to dear Phyllis and her impact here on FanStory. It seems we have lost too many active FS members recently. I feel the loss. Well written and well said, Judi!

Thanks for your review and comments. Although it's sad, I appreciate people keeping us informed about these deaths. Katy, Phyllis's daughter, wrote a lovely tribute. judi
Comment from royowen
I don't think I could possibly forget Phyllis in a hurry, she is/was a colossus on fanstory, after all, it is a very insular collective of virtual, but yet, something more than just an enclave, in a very cold world, we still have a fortress-like insularity about us. Most of us know each other possibly almost better than, because of what is the core of each other, and what drives us. A little more than pen pals. Well done, friend Judy, blessings, Roy

Thanks for your review and comments, Roy. I'm so glad when people keep us informed of these deaths. We like the opportunity to share our feelings about the loss. judi

We do Judy

What you write reveals so much about you. We probably know more about others from what they write than we might by actually knowing them. judi

That?s right Judy
Comment from Thomas Bowling
Phyllis was a great friend and a very talented collaborator. She kept me in line while writing Bowl of Stew. Sometimes my humor crossed the line and she would pull me back and keep me from making mistakes. We spent many late nights sending email back and forth. I am blessed to have know her. She was a special person.

Thanks so much for your review and comments. I didn't realize all the work that went into your Bowl of Stew. She was a special person. judi

I think this is a lovely writing in remembrance of Phyllis.
I love the picture as well, "Going Through the Gate". So fitting on so many levels.
Well done and thank you for sharing this with us.

Comment from Mistydawn
I know what you mean about not meeting her in person, yet you have this strong connection, feel like you've known her for years. She just has that way about her I suppose. Made you feel at ease. You're right, her poems, stories were always well-written, so interesting and she seemed like she could do it all. No writing challenge left undefeated. She was an amazing lady for sure.

Comment from robyn corum
Judi,
This is so beautiful. An elegant and fitting eulogy for our wonderful friend. I know she would be so pleased. You left off the fact that she was such a talented artist. But I don't think many of us realized that! I didn't understand the scope of it, myself. I'm only now starting to hear about more and more of it. Isn't that sad?
BTW, I think it's 'Katy'.
Thank you so much. This is precious and sooooo fitting. Hugs-

Comment from Bill Schott
Me too. It seems the things we treasure most are sometimes kept from us. I followed Phyllis through a couple of her novels as she trotted them out for input. She had more that I guess never made it through to press. Nice tribute to Phyllis, Judi.

Thanks for your review and comments, Bill. I think this got fired off before I had actually finished it. judi
