    Kent and families, just a note to let you know that times like these are never easy, however we have the Written Promises from God, found only in His Word, that we shall have eternal life, found only through Jesus Christ…Just wanted to pass that promise along to you, and hopefully bring some comfort and strength and peace, during this difficult time…your friend for life…Gary T.

    Phyllis was a volunteer broadcaster at the Audio-Reader Network and was an absolute joy to be around. She had a sunny disposition and a generous heart. She was a Thursday 8 -10 reader during the Topeka Capital Journal and Kansas City Star time slot. She always arrived with a box of donuts from Munchers Bakery. I was blessed to have known her and her memory will always be a blessing.

    Phyllis was one of a treasured group of friends that included my mother, Betty Dobbins. I can’t think of that group without smiling as I remember the chattering and laughter whenever they were together. I’m sorry for your loss, but happy I got to know her.
