I am so sorry to learn of Phil's passing. I will always treasure the memory of talking with him on "his bench" at Nicolet Beach. He was a great guy. My thoughts and prayers are with you and I am sorry I was unable to be with you last Saturday.

Dear Judy:
I am soooo very sorry for your loss. You might know that I lost a sister (age 60) last year and have a brother-in-law (age 58) currently in hospice. As you know, these sadnesses are almost unbearable. I'm saying prayers to the dear Lord to give you continued strength. I do hope I get to see your smiley face again soon....we've always missed it here at MCH.
Love & prayers,
Anne Catalane
