My old AA sponsor Passed - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Today a great lady is put to rest. She was my sponsor back in the 90's when I was in AA the first time. She had a great sense of humor and had 20+ years of sobriety. She will be missed.

Rest in peace Phyllis.

Barb, prayers going out for friends and family, how fortunate you were to have a sponsor like Phyllis.

What a blessing and honor it must be to pass into the next life clean and sober. With the grace of God, may we all arrive that way.

Rest in peace, Phyllis. Thanks for working with our friend Barb and sharing the gift of sobriety with her.

Love comes from many people and even though they pass on, the love they gave us never dies. It becomes part of us and everyone else's life that we share it with. i am glad that she was able to touch your life and help you.

i hope that you will be one of the badges of honor she wears in the next lifetime. Travel safely Phyllis.
