I taught with Mrs. Dale and sang in the choir with her many years. She used to drive the church van to pick my boys up from school for children’s choir. She will be remembered.

Jim and Tony, I'm thinking of you today and want you both to know that I'll never forget your Mom and all the sweet and caring things she and your Dad did for us. I'm overwhelmed with memories of her and your Dad this morning, how blessed I was to have had them. Much love to both of you always.

Saddened to hear of the passing of my third grade teacher. I absolutely loved her. She taught me my multiplication tables and cursive writing. Her passion for teaching gave me a love for learning. She inspired me to become a teacher. Prayers of peace and comfort for her family.

I remember her reading "The Boxcar Children" to us after lunch every day. At a Parent Teacher Conference she told Daddy that I was "an asset" to the class. I thought she had called me a bad word.LOL!

Phyllis made my time working at the Mitchell House a pleasure and I loved her dearly. She brought music to our facility everyday and forever more whenever I hear The Tennessee Waltz I will shed a tear for Phyllis. She was a dear and special friend and the memory of her sweet smile will always warm my heart. Her music is now with the angels forever more.
