Dearest Phoebe I am sorry I was not aware that Phillip had passed away. My heart and prayers are with you at this time. I was so grateful that he gave Dad a wonderful eulogy, along with you as his backup. We appreciated that Phillip
was one of the last Doctors still alive who could recall their early days of practicing together.
I do believe Phillip was the last of that wonderful generation of caring Doctors who really met the needs of patients. I love both of you and if you need anything please let me know. Just think, they are all gathered around downtown having their coffee before seeing patients.
Love Kylee Manahan
