Testimonials and other words from the heart

"I want to thank you for giving of yourselves and your time on Father’s Day. You have no idea how much it meant to my family.  For people who have lost their father, especially children, Father’s Day is just sad.  No words can express the pain that these children feel.  Attending the Phillies game is a way for “Daddy’s Spirit” to be remembered in a happy way.  God Bless You."
—D.D., mother of a program participant
