    So sorry to know of her death. I did hear she was not well at the same time Karol was not well.
    The Phillip family is very dear to my heart.
    My sympathy to her family, extended family, others who knew her and also worked with her.
    Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and other souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen!
