Memories of Mrs.Phillips will be with me as long a I live. Mrs. Phillips contributed to my love of music & singing. What a beautiful voice she had! Her singing would move hearts. I learned about the love of God through her life, her gentle voice and the many times she taught me in sunday school. The thing that I most think of when I think of her is the way she and Mr Phillips held hands every sunday while walking to and from church. Every sunday. The love Mr & Mrs Phillips showed toward each other was a wonderful example to me. Her children are now and will always be like family to me. I love you all and if I can ever do anything for you, just call.
