Dear Katie and Seth,
Sorry to read about your dad. Its sad to see this, because nothing or no one on earth can replace your father. Except your Heavenly Father, so draw close to him & he will draw close to you (James 4:8).

A time like this leaves one without the right words to comfort those who are in the depths of pain that those who loved Phil are at this time. I believe that only our prayers to God can reach those depths of your hearts that need reached! Katie, Seth, Misty and Paulette my heart and prayers are with you all. Phil will be thought of often as time passes in my own life that I know for sure. May God comfort all those hearts which Philip J Fox touched!!!
