Peggy, Michael,& Kelly,
We just heard of Phil's death today. So sorry we weren't at the funeral home, you know if we had known we would have been there. Phil was a great guy, and was fortunate to have a wonderful wife and family that loved him very much. He is with God now, and someday you will all be together again. Peggy, if there is anything we can do, please let us know. We will be keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. You Have Our Deepest Sympathy.

Phil was in elementary school with me and then I became friends with Peggy at SouthSide; the two of you were always so sweet and kind---you were certainly meant to be together. Destiny will keep you together through eternity.

To Peggy, Michael, Kelly, and all of his family and friends who loved Phil, he most certainly was one of the most kind hearted, generous, and unselfish men I have ever known. I was blessed to know him and I am thankful for all of the laughs and great memories Phil and his family brought to my life. He will certainly be missed but his legacy and the lives he touched will live on forever. May God bless, keep, and comfort all of you through this hard time.
