Dear Jack and Phillips Family: I am so sorry that you have lost your beloved dad (and husband and grandfather) - he was an extremely nice man and we have many fond memories of him - seeing him at family parties, fishing with my dad, golfing with my dad (and talking endlessly with my dad which made both of them so very happy!!!) Having lost our dad, we know how difficult and painful this will be for all of you - when we lost our family members and people told us that it would get easier with the passing of time, we doubted that could ever happen - but thankfully - it does get easier to endure with the passage of time - i'm sorry i cannot be there today to honor your dad - he is in a better place now where he is young and healthy again and pain free - that's the way you have to think about him - he would want you to think of him that way -
please accept our deepest sympathy -
