"Philip, I remember you as the quiet one, but perhaps that was only my impression. Then we all reunited after many years apart. You assisted in the embellishment of memories of sitting at the kid's table during family visits. Yes, Irene still had that very same table and you guys produced it that day. Many memories were shared. Philip, you are "....the thousand winds that blow...and the soft stars that shine at night..." ( Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep-Mary Elizabeth Frye)...happy trails my cousin, you don't have to sit at the kids table, Irene's waiting for you at the big table..."
