Dear Rosalie and Family,
My heartfelt condolences to you. My sis in Texas came across your father's obit in the New Mexican, which she views electronically, and sent it to me. I remember both of your parents as being such hard workers and always kind to me. May they be together now, at peace and at rest.

Both he and Rose were terrific neighbors and friends to my grandparents since 1972. When my grandfather died in 1981 and then my step grandfather in the mid nineties, Phil was there. Thank you Philip for all your help and friendship!

What a yard Phil and Rose had!!! Their grass was perfect--any golf course would have been overjoyed to have a lawn like theirs!!! I remember them both working on the yard with flowers and plants. Both he and Rose were always so nice to everyone.

May God Bless you!
