To Phoebe's family,

I must tell you I feel I already know many of you as she talks about you so often. Phoebe and I have worked together for about two years and she has grown to be one of my very best friends. Loosing her dad and breaking her heart, breaks my heart, but it also tells me so much about the man he was. I know he was a true man of faith, a loving and nurturing father and a man who believed in leading by example.... thus the wonderful legacy he has left. Through the coming weeks, my prayers are with your family. Julie Wilson
