Eleanor:
I am sorry to hear of Phils passing. It brought back memories of when you, Phil, June and I hung out a little together so many years ago. Square dancing at the Grange, our visit to Ticonderoga ( We have a picture of you and Phil somewhere). We have talked of you and PHil many times over the years. I don't know if Fred keeps you up on all of the old timers that are no longer here. June and I would have been married 63 years on March 31st. However the last year or so she has not been well, and I am sad to say she passed away February 17th. So I know how you will feel. It is an end to life as we knew it. I still have not come to the realization of what really happened. My daughter and her children, grand and great children have been a comfort. I know yours will be for you also.
Again, please accept my condolences
