Dear Ms. Betsy,
I was saddened to hear of the passing of my friend and mentor. Phil was always willing to share his knowledge with anyone ready to learn. I am blessed to have known and worked beside Philip Ignatius.

Hi Betsy
I am grateful for the opportunity to be a blessing to you and your family.
Although it was a short 3 years that I got to work with you and buds, as his and your caregiver, I must say that, I learnt alot from both of you, and will always cherish the memories we built together. Both of you were as my grand parents. I'll surely miss him.
May the peace of our Lord be with you and your family, at this time.

Dear Mrs. McGrath, Karen and I are saddened by the passing of Mr. McGrath. We both worked for him at Technical Services. He was a patriot, engineer and leader. When we were young marrieds, he gave us an opportunity and a career. We will always miss Phil. Karen and Mike Boyd.

Dear Betsy,
I am so sorry for your loss and hoping you will find comfort in all the happy memories you shared. (one of your friends from Amulets)

Dear Aunt Betsy and cousins,
We were sad to learn of Uncle Buds' passing, but comforted to know it was peaceful at home among those he loved. While we've mailed a longer note about our memories of him we wanted to let you know we are thinking about you and would like to be with you when you bring him to Florence in the Spring. Love, Lonnie and Roxane
