“Sending you so much love. I know he is singing with three little birds right now.”

Ruth Neighbors wrote a sympathy message

“I was friends with Kelly when her Mom started dating Phil. I think she described him as “cheesy”. I also remember how happy and complete that family became. I grew up around Phil and he told Dad jokes, was very calm and was so kind. He really did warm your heart. So sorry to Mary and Kelly and the whole family. My heart is with you. Ruth Petsch Neighbors”
