Dear Heathcote Family,

I graduated with Phil from Drew and we were able to keep in touch throughout law school and until I moved to Denver. With great fondness, I will remember Phil's good nature, his vivacious laugh, and his loyal friendship. My husband, Larry Bassham, and I send you our heartfelt sympathy. May the love of family and friends ease your sorrow and give you strength.

With love and remembrance,
