Lee Phillips was one of the smartest & most skilled men that we have ever known. We always marveled at his adventure stories and his knowledge & well thought-out opinions on any topic under discussion. He and Betty were kind and thoughtful toward us whenever we were together. We pray for the Lord to bring peace of mind & comfort to Betty, David & our precious daughter-in-law, Joanie.
"Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid - - - -: for the Lord thy God, He it is that doth go with thee: He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee."
