Phil, I was so sorry to read of the loss of your Mother. I used to see your parents when I was nursing at Hendricks. I always asked about you and they were so proud of your accomplishments. I keep you in my thoughts and prayers now in the time of your loss.

I first met Pat and Burl when we worked for the Farrington Bros. They were the nicest couple you'd ever want to know. We moved away to the Metroplex area but every year I could count on getting a Christmas card from them...We kept in touch all these years. I will remember them always, our condolences to the family. We love you Phil and let's stay in touch.

I knew Burl and Pat from their days at Hendrick. They were so much fun and great encouragers. We shared many laughs and I loved them both. My sympathy to the family but what good memories you must have!
