To Allen and family of Philip Leon Corbin:

I was saddened to learn of your father's passing and just wanted to send my small condolences in your loss.

I too know the pain of loss and also know one's earthly walk contains many hardships and heartaches. Your father now rests eternally.

The pain of the loss of that human touch is hard to bear but you will begin to notice things in nature and in your everyday activities that will bring sweet memories. Treasure each and every one; they will sustain you.

My hope and prayer is that each of you can retain the connection and sweet memories as you travel your paths of healing.

God bless and keep each and every one of you in your time of sorrow.

Dear Mrs. Corbin, Allen, and Patricia: I enjoyed playing tennis with Mr. Corbin and the other tennis fanatics at Young's Park for many years. We all had great fun. I still have the tennis racket stringing machine I bought from him although it has not been used in years. You have my deepest sympathy, and my prayers are with you.
