Dear Anita - We've shared classes and careers, students and stories, jokes and goals. What a memorable, valued time it has been. Rest in peace, knowing that you have run the race and remained faithful, admired, and loved.

Mrs. Phillips was my piano teacher for 11 years.
Ever patient, kind and caring, always encouraging me to reach a little further. Years after I had stopped lessons, married and moved away, she was sure to keep in touch. She emailed and ensured we had a visit each time I was home. I failed in keeping up with her but never failed in remembering the lasting impact she has had on my life. Always grateful for you Mrs. Phillips!

We will surely miss her smile, her laughter and her stories.
