Malinda, I am so sorry to hear of Phil's passing. I have so many fond memories of the two of you growing up and of both of your families. I remember Phil carrying in my groceries for me as a teenager. Such a kind and funny young man. We had such wonderful talks when you were a young lady. I will never forget your family as long as I live. May God Bless you and protect you and your family always. Tell everyone hello. Sandra Ferrell
