So sorry, to hear about your loss of Phil! I lived close to Phil in Scottsville. I used to work on the farm for Phil dad when I was young. Phil went with me to Dalton, Georgia and help me buy a big roll of carpet and Phip helped me on a building project. He was a great friend and I will miss him! Vicki and I went to the same school and the same grade! Praying for Comfort and peace!
