Jim, Dale, Leigh, and families, We were so sorry to see that your Mom has passed away. I have known her many years but got to really know her better when you kids were in school at Indian Valley Elementary. She was so devoted to each of you and I know you will hold her memories close to your hearts. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers. Love to each of you, Shirley & Doug Phillips
