We first met Phylis and James when her sister Sarah and husband came to be pastor of our church in Windsor, VA around 1967. In 1974 we moved to Newport News and they became our pastors. Our testimony is that our lives were radically changed by the ministry of both couples. James and Phylis not only were our pastors, but like many others we became lifelong friends with them. Phylis was everyone’s friend. A friend of ours has a video of her teaching kids church and leading the song “How did Moses get across the Red Sea.” In my minds eye I can still see her skipping across the room as she sang. She’s probably skipping along the clouds old heaven with James about now. We’ve kept up with her since she and James returned to Arkansas. The last time we were together was about five years ago. We will miss her a lot and her Facebook comments. Heaven is richer by her entrance. We honor the memory of this gracious lady. Continued prayers for her family. Carolyn and Dave Gianettino
