From Gouda, the Netherlands
 I send my sincere condolences on the passing of this gracious, kind and generous lady, Phyllis Rosenberg.
It was my privilege and pleasure to have known her in America  through my marriage with Mr. Reuben Brenner, who was related to her via his grandmother, Mrs Lillian Brenner and after some decades to reconnect in Amsterdam.
May her memory be a blessing.
Rest in peace Phyllis -- from Sjaan Scheffers

Phyliss was a beautiful person. I have fond memories of visiting her as a child with my family. Sunday brunches bagels and lox, didn't have very often in Grand Rapids.... it was a treat to visit Detroit.  Throughout my life our paths would cross and she was always supportive and full of positive energy. 

Of particular note was a trip we had together in Israel in 1976 and with her brother, cousin Dudley. It was a wonderful week. I was 19, and they picked me up on my kibbutz. What a great surprise it was! 

A fantastic tour around the country with family. She took me under her wing, as did Dudley, a great man, who always reminded me of my father. I was truly grateful for that time I spent with them.  She enabled me to see so much and meet other family that I wouldn't have been able to do. 

Phyliss was very involved in supporting charities and helping others as I saw while there in Israel and throughout her life as I know it.

A smile and delight is how I will remember her.
She was a great niece and friend to my Boubie, Lillian Brenner and a special cousin to my father Leonard and mother Kim Brenner. 

In the past couple years I had been in contact with her and it was so nice to read her words.

My condolences to Marc and other family members.  

May she rest in piece.
