Dear Vickie, Angela, John and families,
We were so sad to learn of the passing of Phil on the same day Al passed away (Jan. 9). We send our heartfelt condolences as we grieve for our loss as well. Al’s funeral was the same day as Phil’s. We tried reaching out by phone, but didn’t seem to have a working number for you. Carol and Carl send their deepest sympathy.
