Dear Annette and Phil, I am truely sorry for your loss. I know words can never be enough. I lost my dad in Feb. 2008. There are no words that ican say. When i want to talk to him i go to the boardwalk. The last five years of his life we went bike riding in the morning. That is where i feel the closest to him. Keep his memory alive by talking about the good times to your children.

Please take time to grieve.
My prayers are with you and your family.

Love Carrie Philp McCabe
