Dear Phil and Libby,

I just heard the sad news. From the obituary I understand he lived a long life. I can only hope that it was a life filled with happy times and good health. I hope you have lots of great memories to sustain you. It is hard to lose a parent no matter how old.

Fondly Eva Busgang
