So very sorry Joanna

Two years ago, I spent a weekend with Philip and his mom, Joanna, who is my dear friend and sister for over 40 years. Philip accompanied us to the theatre, and dinner. When we returned to the house he gave us a tour of the world through the various tea that represent different cultures. It was clear that he had a deep love and passion for it by the depth of his knowledge. Philip was a gentle giant, whose words were few, yet impactful. Joanna, you raised a fine young man who made a lasting impact in my life. May our God keep you close to him as you mourn the loss of your beloved son.
