Margaret and family, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, Phil hired me at the Holmberg Co Inc in 1974 and I had lunch with him many times after he retired. He will be missed.

Dear Margaret, Barbara, and all the family, God called one of His saints home for Christmas. You miss him in the family circle, but he is watching over you from heaven. Since I cannot participate in his wake and funeral, I will be with you in prayer and spirit on Monday. I am honored to have known him. With sympathy, prayer and affection,

Aunt Margaret, Barb, Betty and Dan,
I was saddened to learn Uncle Phil has passed, and I'm sure this is a great shock to you. I am so grateful for his life and am proud to claim him as my uncle and wish I could congratulate him for living a fine example of a Christian life.
I am grateful for all of you and want you to know you have been in my prayers this week. May the Lord's peace keep you in this time of grieving.
