Dear Phyllis, Neil and I were so sorry to hear of Garth's passing. It sounds like he was a very warm, loving husband and father, and we're sure he will be sorely missed. We will make a contribution to Blue Ridge Hospice in his memory. I hope they helped you both through such a difficult time, just as they are now helping Neil and me through Neil's cancer.
