From Florence Lawernce Sanders family RIP Cousin Vel Philips love you

Hon. Velvalea Phillips. Thank you for your dedicated service to people and your incredible leadership. Rest with God.

We will miss Vel. She was an extraordinary leader and an inspiration to so many.

Thank you for making our city and our lives better, you will be missed, may God grant you a lovely home going.

What an honor and a blessing to have been introduced to, and known, such a phenomenal woman as Vel Phillips! She has left the essence of her fingerprint on this city, on this state, on this country, and in the hearts of everyone who has been blessed to meet her. We will miss her physical presence, but Vel's legacy lingers in each one of our hearts and our lives. I pray that the comfort of peace carries her family, her loved ones, and her friends as they walk the final leg of this life's...

Vel was a phenomenal woman. Her intregity, strength, commitment, tenacity and wisdom were inspiring. Indeed, she was a role model for all of us in general and for women in paraticular. She left this world a much better place than she found it. May God rest her soul and grant her his eternal peace.

Heartfelt sympathy to her family.
