Dear Lorraine and Family: I was saddened to learn about Phil's passing. I am so very sorry and send you all my deepest sympathies. I lost my husband of 20 years, in December 2009, so I can share in your loss and your sadness. Please know that time will heal, though at the moment your hearts are breaking. Hold on to the wonderful memories and know it is OK to laugh, OK to cry.
In friendship,
Carol Britten (Peck School years ago!!)
