I met Dean Phillips once, when i worked at the UNC Law Library. I'm very proud to have worked in the law school where he had such a profound impact. My thoughts are with his family. May they have ease in this time of sorrow.

Prayers and love to the family. Love, Susan Lillard Thomason

I appeared before Judge Phillips when he sat on the 4th Circuit--always a gentleman and scholar. I'm thankful our paths crossed.
