To Phil, a great friend,
You often asked me to get together, and I'd often reply I was busy. It seemed like you were always reaching out for someone to be with.
For once last Saturday I called you about getting together for Eric's memorial party but you had chest pain and couldn't go. I should have known you would never say no unless something was wrong.
I could have stopped by on the way to the party. Now I wish I was there for you.........as you always offered to be there for me.
My only consolation is that now after 40 years maybe you're with your Dad.
Phil, I pray that you Rest in Peace
