I taught with Mrs. Phifer at China Grove Middle (1990-1992) as 6th grade transitioned from elementary school to the middle school setting. She and I were paired together as teammates; she, one of the most experienced teachers and I, one of the least experienced. An unlikely pairing, perhaps, but it worked. I learned a lot from her and she often let me take the lead. Even through all the adjustments of those years, she came in happy every morning with a big smile and a cheery, "Good morning!", ready for the day. I have great appreciation for the way she met those challenges during that phase of her career. As I read through her obituary, I remembered many of the family members' names from when she would share stories of her life. I can still see the sparkle in her eye and hear the love in her voice as she spoke of them. I am glad to have known Mrs. Phifer and am praying God's comfort for the family during this sad time of her passing.

I will miss my cousin and will always remember how we often got to church at the same time and walked in together. The girls and I loved her and will always have great memories of her to share for a lifetime. Many blessings to the family.
