Aunt Joan and the rest of the Barry clan,

I am deeply sorry to hear of the loss of Uncle Phil. All my love and condolences go out the rest of the family. When I got the news from my mom, my heart sank. We all know he is in a better place now and hopefully that can bring some peace to such a sad loss. Until we meet again Uncle Phil, Rest in Peace.

My dear friend, Jane... I'm so sorry for your loss... Phil was undeniably one of a kind and we will all miss him so, though none of us more than his family. Sean, the kids and I have so many fun and funny memories of Phil, many of them from sitting around your picnic table or your dining room table just listening to him tell his Barry Family stories! Please know that our whole neighborhood grieves with you and are here for you, Frank and the kids... whatever you need, just ask. I wish for you love, kindness and strength during this sad time. Love, Tammy.
