So sorry to hear about the loss of our cousin Phillip, I am one of the younger children of Lee and Pat Werthman. We only met a few times on our visits during the summer from California.
I remember Holly more from her visit to California.
It’s very difficult to lose our siblings because they are such a reflection of our history. My heartfelt condolences for your loss. 💞
I am so sorry to hear of Phil’s passing. He was a great friend! So nice and he sponsored our softball team. We lost contact over the years and I am sorry about that. He was a great dancer and had an engaging smile. He will be missed.
I was sad to hear of Phil’s death. He was a great friend and such a kind and loving person. He had a great smile. Phil sponsored our girls softball team. We were Elite. And I believe we won a city tournament during that time. He would come and watch us. He was a good dancer. I’m glad he found his soulmate!! Will keep Doris in our prayers!! RIP Phil.
