The Passing of Phyllis...

"I always was marved by housework.. I just didn't do it.".
"I never made Who's who's but I did make what is that"
"Never go to bed mad. Stay up and fight"
"When I told Fang I was going to have my face lifted, he said who would steal it?"
and in later years was, "you know you are old when your walker was an airbag."

When I was in my 20's, I saw on Johnny Carson show, a woman who had me
laughing so hard, I would almost have tears in my eyes. As weird as some of
the looks she had, with the wigs she wore... I always love listening to her.
Even if her voice sounded like a bad chalk on the blackboard. And her
witch type laugh. Phyllis was the type, you either loved her or you hated
her. I love her humor...

She broke the ice for many of stand up women comedians. From Rosie to
Ellen, to Roseanne and who knows how many others, who came after her.

One time I saw a picture of her without the makeup and weird hair do..
She was actually a beautiful woman.
Also I did not know she was an accomplished concert pianist.
I read that she performed for over 10 years as a solo pianist.
Under the name of Dame Lilya Pilva. And she performed with
more than 100 symphony orchestras. Isn't that amazing...
who would have thought?

So God bless, Phyllis Diller, may you be making music of laughter with Red, Jackie, and all those who went before you.. Bob will take your hand and sit you around the
table with the boys.. It should be a royal time with all the great one liners..
Oh, yea, Phyllis, I am sure God will recognize you, even with all your face lifts.
