Grandma Phyllis brought our family together. Thanksgiving dinners will always be a treasured memory of all my aunts, uncles and cousins meeting under her roof with Grandpa Reed Pope before he passed. I bear his first name as my middle name per tradition, and proudly so. I never failed to eat until I was sick, never failed to play until we got in trouble, and get into everything in their beautiful home. I have fond memories and love for all these wonderful people!
Grandma Phyllis was a voice for reason and decorum in my memory. Straightening my shirt, helping me be reverent, making sure everything was just so. I'll miss her for the rest of my life and look forward to seeing her and grandpa in the resurrection!
