Dear Debra, Lily, Robert and David-
Very sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad.
Combat veteran, very talented engineer and, most importantly, a caring and all around great guy. As a kid, I remember Uncle Mario sending me, on a regular basis, 10″x12″ glossy photos of the various planes that he had been working on and I also remember him stopping by and tutoring me on school math. All of us always looked forward to Uncle Mario stopping by for a visit.
After my dad’s death, my mom let me know that your Dad was one of the relatives to keep in touch with her, call and ask how she was, etc. My mom told me she always enjoyed his calls. Mom is in assisted living now, down in Florida.
Again, I am sorry for your loss.
Robert and the Sanders family, I’m so very sorry for your loss. We as believers know he is back home with God.. Lord I ask that you comfort this beautiful family in their time of need.In Jesus name we pray. Amen
My sincerest sympathy to you, Phillip’s family, in his loss. I came to know him through the office of Dr. Brad Loeffelholz, his dentist in Ft. Worth. I was the hygienist that treated Phillip for many years. He was a most extraordinary gentleman, and I grew to become very fond of him. He was always very kind, asking after my parents and my family, and offering prayers for the well being of us all. He told me at his last appointment that he was ready to go with Jesus. We said goodbye, knowing it was likely we would not meet again on this side of Heaven. I treasure Phillip as one of my long-standing patients who made me smile, who made a difference. God bless you all.
