Tributes:
Nellie Helle: "The death of our parents was to be expected in life, but we did not expect to lose our daughter when she was only 19 years old. We had no control over that, just the heartache."
Sharon: Phyllis was more than just a cousin. We were close, like sisters, spending time every summer together. Just before Phyllis became ill, she had spent a summer with me. The song "Four Walls" had just been released.My Dad was singing "Old Walt" instead of "Four Walls" as his hearing problem prevented him from hearing the words clearly. He went around the house singing "Old Walt to hear me, Old Walt to see me..." and I never saw anyone laugh so hard in my life as Phyllis did. She was a fun cousin, always a happy person. Her death at such a young age was a tragedy for the entire family and I lost a dear friend."
