You were a special aunt and great aunt and great great great aunt we will miss you and treasure the time we had
Phyllis was a great lady. When I went to college to become an Officer in The Salvation Army, she encouraged me the entire way. I was told my by mother that she asked about me often and said that she knew that I would do well. Fast forward a bit after graduating, and every time she saw me, she would come and give me a hug and tell me that she was proud of me. It meant a lot to me and I am going to miss her. Well done, good and faithful servant. Enjoy your promotion to Glory. Until we meet again!!
You were an amazing Aunt you never forgot our birthdays or Christmas and helped buy stuff when it came time for us to sell things
You were a special aunt no one can take your place
Phyllis was the last of a very special group of ladies of the Salvation Army. I always loved her laugh. She was a tremendously hard worker. She really cared a lot for our family. We will all meet again
My condolences to Ken and the entire Brooks family. Phyllis was a very nice and kind lady. I knew her of course from the Burger King where she was a hard worker and always had a smile on her face. May she RIP
You were there when I was born and took me places when I got older you were the best aunt and great aunt ever

Miss you
I Have many wonderful memories of Phyllis. She gave 70 faithful years to The Bellaire Salvation Army. I Know many of our church members and home league members will miss seeing her, talking to her, and listening to the many prayer requests that she asked for, on Sundays and Wednesday nights.
I know that Christ said these words to her, when she entered heaven.
Good job. You were a good and faithful servant. Enjoy your promotion to glory,
A very special friend that leaves fond memories, the tavern route 45 years ago is a special memory of Phyllis. She always cared about our daughters and us. She will be missed.
