Phyllis Jean Carlisle

Phyllis is my grandma and I would just like to share something that all if my friends would say any time they would meet her. Almost all of my friends would say how cool they thought grandma was and how much they liked her right off the bat. One of my very best friends said, and I quote, "your grandma is kind of a badass." I always loved listening to grandma tell stories about me when I was little and I think my favorite one is the one of the first day they brought me home to meet Bandit (grandpa's dingo). Grandma told me that they laid me on the floor on a blanket and watched carefully as Bandit walked around and around my tiny body. He kept looking up at grandma to make sure it was ok to get closer. When he finally got close enough, he just laid down and cuddled up to me and I was his. Grandma was one of my best friends, and someone I looked up to very much. I even told all my friends that some day, I wanted to be just like my grandma, because she was, and always will be, loved by everyone.
