We are sorry to hear of your loss. I have very vivid memories of the Phillips family filling an entire pew during masses at St. Polycarp. All of us in the Bush family have been blessed to cross paths with the members of the Phillips family through the years. We know that your husband/father/grandfather was a special man who left a lasting legacy in each of you. Bless you.
