Dear Debbie and family: Ron and I extend our deepest sympathy on the passing of your Father. I will always remember Phil for the kindness he showed to our kids, Mike and Dawn. He loved kids. Deb, we cannot tell you how happy we are that you were able to spend time with your Dad this past year. Those are memories you will cherish forever. Love Ron and Joan.
