Dear Ms. Wyndell,
41 years ago, you started out as my boss. In a matter of days, you became my best friend and second mom. Together we traveled, learned and created a wonderful life in a business that was both near and dear to our hearts. We always agreed on everything and had each other’s back. It was a duo that made me who I am today.
Once I began my own family and had my boys, you instantly became their grandmother. Taking them on adventures and making sure they learned how to drive at a very young age (maybe 2 years old for Collin but you held off to age 3 for Dakota).
Travel and the Arts were very important to you. You always made sure the office girls had a trip to the big city to see a play and eat at a fancy restaurant. You instilled in us a passion to see the world and experience life’s journey.
After retirement the big trips no longer happened but you kept busy attending as many Nacogdoches events as possible. Always giving your all to the town you loved the most.
Your loyalty and dedication to your clients was exceptional. I promise we will continue to build upon the foundation you set before us.
It is an honor to take over the agency and continue your legacy. I will miss your sweet face and presence every day.
Forever in our hearts.
Camala Phillips and Staff
