Lynette, I am so sorry to read of the passing of your mother. She was always so very kind to me whenever I stayed over at your house in high school and also in my early years of teaching. I think of her fondly and will be praying for you and your family.

I just heard about your loss and am very sorry. Phyllis was an inspiration to all of us who worked with her at Mountain Grove. I hope that soon your memories of the good times you had with your mother or grandmother will overshowed the sadness. I don't know if any of you remember me, but I still live in on the property on AD that we bought from Bob and Phyllis.

"Mrs. Anderson" was so dear to me during my early years of teaching. I learned so much from her. She was a true example to follow regarding every aspect of life. Heartfelt sympathy to her family.

Our family is sorry for your loss, and we know that God will listen to your prayers and give you the strength during this difficult time, like Psalms 102:17 says "He will certainly turn to the prayer of those stripped of everything, and not despise their prayer."
