Dear Phil, Miranda, and Aubri,
I am so sad to hear of your Dad's passing. I pray that Dad is finally pain-free and at peace watching over you. My heart aches for your loss. May you find comfort in knowing your many friends are praying for you, your Mom and your wonderful Dad. A true hero, I will never forget him and the times we shared as field EMT's for football.
