I am sorry, Phillip. Aunt Stella is our last Compton child and marks her death as especially sad. But we cousins have each other and our memories of Christmases together at the kids table. Blessings on you and your family.
My mother Sara will not be able to attend but I am planning to be there.

Phillip, I am very sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. She is one of the main inspirations to my own career as a church organist. She lived a wonderful life and loved you all deeply.

My sincerest condolences and prayers are extended to the Dill family during this difficult time. May the Lord grant you strength, comfort and peace as only He can give. I am one of Phil's former coworkers who can attest to his great love and care for his mother whom he spoke of fondly. I always said, "Phil is such a good son and caregiver!" May God bless each of you!
