Phyllis was my excellent assistant in the Title 1 program at Janes School. She also was a great golfing friend. We became even better friends when we shared "The Big Ball Bangers" golf group on Friday nights. I live in Land O Lakes in the summer and AZ in the winter. I only read of her death today after my Christmas card was returned. My condolences to the family. She was a superb friend to all.
The Jensens and Vernons were family friends. I remember the adults play bridge,I think, socializing, and while I do not exactly remember camping at Crystal Lake, I have seen pictures and I do remember the crystal clear water and only being able to row the boat (no motors allowed).
The Spritz cookie recipe that I use every year must be Phyllis's. They are so delicious and people feel very special when they receive some at Christmas time!! That has become one of my family traditions!
Phyllis started sending cards a few years back. She was so proud of her children and grandchildren and revisited memories from way back when. She had a great memory!!!
I am so very sorry for your loss!!

Jim, Nancy, and Jeff - I am sorry to hear of your mom's passing. There are so many memories of our two families "from back-in-the-day." One of my vivid memories was your mom and my mom, Mary Vernon, teaching me to knit when I was in elementary school. When I pick up my needles for a project today, I think of the two of them being so patient and laughing together. We communicated yearly at Christmas, and your mom kept me up to date on all of you; she was so proud of each one of you and your families. You all are in my thoughts, and I am sending prayers your way.
Love, Jamie Vernon
