For the Phillips Family:

I am very sorry for the loss of George E Phillips. In the past, he was always visiting "our relatives" to sit & chatting. May he rest his soul safe in heaven with "our fathers", Henry C Phillips (Brookline/Plum Island Beach,) Churdie Mac Lean (Newburyport), Henry C Phillips (Daytona Beach, Fl), etc. God Bless!

With sympathy, (formerly of Brookline/Plum Island)

Uncle George,

I loved you very much and cherish all the lunches and times we had together. I also feel very special as you chose my name. You were very determined to have me someone other than Ann as there were so many in the family.

I will always remember your smile and beautiful blue eyes.

I will see you in glory.

Love, Arlene Frances
