Granddaughter, Tammy Darling, was promised a
trip to Las Vegas for her 18
th
birthday, which the two of them went
on and it was very memorable.
Great Granddaughter, Amanda Darling, spent a lot
of time with Phyllis telling stories about what was going on in each of their
lives, going out together for meals, and making each other laugh. Phyllis was so proud of how she has grown up
and to see her graduate.
Great Granddaughter, Cheyanne Darling, was her
little angel. Her eyes lit up when she
entered the room and they loved to play games, but most of all Cheyanne loved
to read to her which made each of them very happy.
What a wonderful legacy Phyllis left behind.
