We send our condolences to the Albert family and to my cousins and my Aunt. I was sad to hear of Uncle Phil's passing. I feel lucky that we were able to see him this summer although by chance. We hadn't been home in a long time. I think he knew as well as I did that it would be the last time we would see each other. I was grateful to have that last visit. I see he made it to heaven in time for my father's (Sam) birthday on the 23rd. He will be missed.
