I only had the honor of speaking to Ms. Phyllis twice. I have been close to Anthony for over 35 years. I knew Tiny almost that long. After knowing those two for so long and speaking to Joseph recently, it was very easy to see why her children are so kind and are just great people . They took after their mom.. Rest In Peace. May God grant you eternal rest and may His perpetual light shine on you for all days. Amen
