Beth and Family,
Mario and I are so sorry to learn of Phil's death. Please accept our deepest condolences. He was a very kind, quiet and hard working man always willing and able to lend a hand to anyone that needed him. I have never forgotten how kind he was to me when our first family dog, Snoopy, died and I was so sad, he came over and buried her for me in our backyard. Very quietly and without saying much, but it meant so much to me. To this day, I remain grateful and appreciative of this kind gesture from Phil. And Beth you were our first babysitter. I knew my baby would be safe in your capable hands. Thank you both for being such good neighbors and friends. May God grant Phil eternal life.
