   Toni & Family,
   My deepest sympathies to all of you. Phil was such a nice man. I remember meeting him way back when, picking up his son at St. John’s Preschool when I would pick up my daughter. Then later, I discovered that he was married to Toni who worked with me at the middle school. We also have the connection of living on “Hoehner Hill” as some call it. Toni, praying that God will comfort you in your sorrow.
