Colleen and I remember Auntie Phyllis as a very kind, generous and accepting person. As a couple we always looked forward to and enjoyed our Boxing Day visits with Uncle Mike and Auntie Phyll. I have many fond memories of times spent as a child with my aunt and uncle and with all of my fun-loving cousins on Ferry Rd, at Winnipeg Beach and Sandy Hook and on Hector Avenue. Thanks for sending us a Christmas card all those years, too, Auntie Phyll. We love you. You'll be missed. - Posted by: Gregg Wizbicki (nephew of Auntie Phyllis) on: Jul 11, 2013

My thoughts and prayers are with my cousins and their families. Although I haven't seen many of you in years I still think of the many wonderful times that our families shared at both Christmas and the beach. Auntie Phyll was a beautiful and loving woman. - Posted by: Sheila Pshebnicki (niece) on: Jul 10, 2013

Our sincere condolences from the Watson family. Our parents, Olive and George, were lifelong friends and hopefully again enjoying each others company. I kept in touch with Phyllis over the last few years after my Mother's passing and really enjoyed our conversations and her opinions.
