My deepest sympathies to Mrs. Phillips and all the family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Mr. Phillips was such a nice man. I don’t ever remember him not smiling. He always welcomed all us “kids” into his home at all hours, and we knew we were welcome. It was a pleasure growing up around the family and knowing him.
