I cant believe that this has happened. Still in shock and cant believe how the good are taken from us. I lived with Michele and Phil for a weekend that turned into 2 1/2 years.A wonderful thoughtful caring man. I grieve for the Sanders,Bojan and Modla familes. I have so many fond memories.From watching Springer episodes with him that I cant repeat, his love for Lorenzo Lamas. Him and I scrapping for aluminum siding, long but funny story. Michelle, take all the memories you can as that's the catalyst to hold him in your heart forever.He will be with in spirit and in heart. I love you dearly and I'm hear for you 24/7. RIP dearest Phil.
Love Gayle

'Words' can't explain how much my Heart is Breaking for You, Sister Friend. You were just Holding my Hand after Losing my ♡. My Harold. With Tears I ask, how Dear Lord, Can this be true.? My Memories of your Phil are many. I remember the day you 2 met. I immediately saw 'Crazy Love' in both sets of those Eyes. So Much Fun. So Much Laughter.! As You have Always been by My Side, in Happiness and Sorrow, I will be for You. God Please Bless This Wonderful Family, in this, their time of Grief. I So Love You, Shellfish. Your, Dolores Ann
