My deepest sympathies to Phil's family and friends. He was a great guy. I'm sorry I won't be able to be there June 3, as I am in Chicago for the next week. I remember riding with Phil in a parade in Homosassa with the Eagle Riders. We were the only two to be able to finish the parade because it moved so slow and were the only ones with motorcycles that had radiators. It was a hot day.

My Hunny!!! I pray you are reunited with Marie and that you are both with Bill. I've always said how Blessed I have been to have TWO good men in my life and I loved you both with all of my heart. I miss you Hunny, even though you told me you will always be with me. I believe you are, but there is still an empty hole in my heart that only you could fill. Until we meet again...I LOVE YOU!!
