Dear Phyllis, Mike & Family,
I was so heartbroken to see this today. Tim was one of the nicest guys I've ever known, and such a good man. And you were one of the loveliest couples I've ever known. You were so blessed to have the relationship that you did, and I know how terribly difficult this is going to be for you. Please know I'm thinking of you and keeping you all in my prayers.
