In Lieu of Flowers:
Many dear friends of Philip and Michael have asked how they can help during this sad time. The most important thing in Philip's life was Palmer, and to know that his friends were contributing to his education would have made him very happy. In lieu of flowers, we welcome you to make donations to an educational trust that was setup for Palmer by his grandfather, Michael Ballo.
Donations can be made online via the "Donate" button below or via mailed check.
I saw a sign "steamers and beer" today and thought of Philip. We enjoyed many clambakes with Philip. We all chipped in, my Dad would dig the clams, Kelly and Micheal with special creative recipes. Philip gave me his secret Sangria recipe. We would all relax a little when we knew Philip was in charge.
Miss you bro-in-law.
