Message: We are honored to provide this Book of Memories to the family.

Message: John and I didn\'t grow up together. We were adopted out to different families. We met later in life and I am so thankful we did. I call John "Phil". When Phil and I first talked it was like I attached myself to a rocket. He was so full of passionate life - everything excited him. When we first met, when Phil and Becca first came to visit me, I met them at the airport, stepped out of the car and my heart shot up into my throat. I was so overcome because for the first time in my 50+ years I was meeting someone I belonged to and who belonged to me. Thank you Phil (and Becca) for reaching out, and thank you Jackie as well for all the research into our family lineage and sending it to me. I\'m so sorry I missed seeing you, Phil. I love you. Another new adventure for you. Carry on. Love, Kris
