in the Catholic Church, we believe in the communion of saints. There are some of us who are on this side, and there are other brothers and sisters on the other side cheering us on and praying for us. Phil is on the other side now, probably still sending his love and prayers and encouragement to us, even though he can’t do it with a keyboard. And right in the center of it all is our Lord. My prayers for peace and comfort go to Sandy and his family.

Sandy and all three of his kids were by his bed side; his sister too. His other sister was with them in heart I’m sure.  What a celebration must have occurred when those heavenly gates swung wide.
