Malcolm, Eric and Andrew I am truly sorry to hear of your wife and mother's passing. Just remember: A life well-lived doesn't end any more than music ends - it echoes through time with whispers of beauty and grace and if we listen, we can hear the encore with our hearts - for the song plays on just as the 'love' lives on.

Phyllis and I began teaching gifted education in Clayton Co. about the same time. What impressed me about Phyllis was her creative approach to teaching and her friendly outgoing approach to life. I've been gone from Clayton Co. for along time but still kept in touch with Phyllis at various state gifted ed. functions.

Even though we felt we were kind of slow at learning, or just little "pains in the bottom" sometimes, she never gave up on us. She taught us that...
