Nancy Smith Hestera wrote a sympathy message

“Jean Phillips was such a blessing to me. I can't express in words what an impact she had on my life. She and Mel allowed me to keep my horse on their property for four years. They facilitated a dream for a 14 year old kid that remains priceless to me. Their kindness and loving encouragement continues to inspire me to this day. Jean's generosity and philanthropic nature made me want to be a better person. I am eternally grateful for her in my life. The world loses a special spirit.”
