Happy 30th Birthday Phill

What a pleasure to wish our oldest son Happy Birthday! Phill is a treasure in our lives. He is a man of integrity, thinks of others before himself, a wonderful husband and great dad, loves to laugh, plans kid activities and follows through, and is simply an easy going wonderful man ~ our son.

Happy Birthday Phill ~ We love you. You are a wonderful part of our life.
