To my favorite son-in-law (in a few months I may have to qualify this salutation so as to not piss off my future other son-in-law - by ascribing to you as "the son-in-law that does not drink coffee" - no that won't work - or by saying "the son-in-law whose last name begins with Mar_" - no that won't work either - maybe by labeling you as the "son-in-law who makes the best mac n' cheese" - still to be determined. Ha. Ha. Well I have some time - hope not too long - to figure it out.) I am so very, very happy that you married Amy and to see and experience how much both of you are in love.  Happy Birthday and we should have a Scotch or two to celebrate your birthday.  Len.

You are so many things to so many people. Thank you for being a wonderful cousin. Looking forward to my move to the Bay to make more memories with you and Amy! I hope your birthday is full of your favorite things. You deserve the best! - Aja

Gosh I miss seeing you guys and in particular, getting to celebrate your birth in person. Such a big year for you and Amy, so there is much to celebrate! Congrats on making it to 35 and on adding a wonderful partner to walk along side of you as your future years unfold. We love you so much and are so thankful to have you in our lives. Here's to 35 and the hope that we may get to see each other much more this year!

Hugs,
Sabrina

Happy, happy birthday Phil! Every since you moved back to the Bay Area, you have played such a pivotal role in our lives. From arranging our monthly Friends Dinners to setting up our FDLFBR conversations and so much more, you've brought our wonderful friend group together, and we are so grateful! Cheers to you and an exciting year ahead for you and Amy!
Love,
Talia

And, yes, even at age 35, you're still my 'baby' and always will be! At the same time, I'm so proud of the wonderful young man you've become! I used to describe how, as a baby, you were so conventional and orderly that someone could set their watch to you. Now, as an adult, you are so wonderfully traditional and thoughtful and caring, people should set their "lives" to yours! It's been my privilege being your Dad, I wish you lots more love and happiness with Amy, and hope you're equally privileged to have a "Phil" (or Phyllis!) of your own one day (and a Matt and a Brian, too!) Love, Dad

You are just such a beauty full person! Wish you happiness on your birthday and everyday. Enjoy! ~Rayna

I was originally going to write something like "may we always gaze deeply into each others eyes with boundless love" but Amy beat me to it.

Happy bday big guy!!!  Much love from Taiwan :)

Welcome to 35 my friend! You are such a special friend. Your compassion, loyalty, and thoughtfulness have always been an inspiration to me, but this past year I have been especially grateful to have you in my life. May this next year be full of love, joy, wonder, and more opportunities to celebrate big life events in person (and to find more signs for Mitch to hide under)!

Hey Phil,

I hope you have a wonderful 35th birthday! I miss spending more time with you and I hope we can do so again soon.

Love,
Brian

Our new best friend told me that you made the biggest impression on him during Alumni Weekend and wants to play you in the upcoming movie about your life. I can't wait to watch it.

Wishing you the happiest birthday, Big Phillie! Can't wait for the next time we all get to celebrate you in person.

Love,
Syl

I once said to a family friend my three sons are the  Sun, the Moon and the Stars to me.  Now why are you the Sun to me?  The Sun continually shines bright as do you.  It’s  energy encourages growth and development as do you.  The sun epitomizes goodness, excellence and strength as do you.  Lastly our lives would be vastly different without the Sun’s presence as our lives would be vastly different had we not been blessed with the gift of you.  Luv you so, and I am proud to call you my son.    Mom

Happy Birthday Phil!
It brings tears to my eyes to see how you have grown and the person that you have become. I am so very proud of my “Godson”.  Enjoy your special day. Hope to see you soon.
Love,
Michele

Oh, Phil...do you remember how we first met?! Well, we first met at Blackies after a softball game where you and I sat next to each other and met for the first time. I remember it feeling like a first date where we were both asking questions trying to figure out if we liked each other and if a “second date” was in a near future ha! I obviously made a good impression since we hung out again and you quickly become one of my best friends. This friendship also led to a birthday bash 8-years ago filled with bowling, dancing and great friends....and that night led me to meeting Madison which blossomed into a beautiful marriage, Ai$hah, chickens, wonderful memories with all our friends and an amazing little boy named Miles.

We love you and miss you so very much! Happy Birthday, Sisqo, Pancake, Big Philly, and my favorite, Back Door Phil (BDP!)!

Marc, Madison and Miles

This photo definitely feels like it was a lifetime ago, but we're so grateful to have friends like you (and Amy!) in our lives to have such wonderful memories with. Wishing you a fabulous birthday and many more birthdays to come!

Sending good vibes from LA,
Tina

Cheers to you, good sir, and best wishes for a very happy birthday! You're a man of true style ... "style" in the fashionable sense, certainly, but even more so in the distinctly warm, authentic, loyal, and humorous "Big Phillie style" you bring to the world and those around you. Your presence and support (whether in person or from afar) are blessings that I and everyone here are lucky to enjoy. Wishing you the best in the year ahead ... and hoping it's not long till our paths cross again for another late night hot dog run together! - Wes

Hope you have an awesomely rewarding kickoff to celebrate your 35th year! As I reflect on our amazing journey since Grove, I am so happy to have so many great memories over the year.  Please celebrate like we did when I last saw you in "black on black on black"! :-)

Love you man!

Phil, I can’t believe you are turning a year older, a year wiser and a year kinder. Thanks for being such a swell brother in law who’s always quick to smile at the world around you. I hope you can take Luna to a baseball game sometime soon too. Enjoy another year around the sun!

While I would love to be able to return the favor of surprising you in your apartment wearing a bow on my head, given the circumstances it seems this e-card will have to suffice.

It really has been amazing having you back in the Bay Area these past few years. Even though once you were back it felt as if you’d never left, while you were gone things just weren’t quite the same. It definitely makes me happy knowing you’re planning on sticking around for a while :)

Happy birthday man, I hope you have yourself a fantastic year and Wen and I are both looking forward to spending more time with you and Amy as soon as we can!

Love,

Mitch and Wen

You’ve been such a constant, positive, friendly, supportive and fun presence in our lives ever since we’ve met, Phil. I really value your friendship and the friendship you’ve provided for Zak over all these years. Coming up on 15 years of friendship with you and even more for Zak! (17!!!) Anyway, what a guy, we adore you and appreciate you and hope you have a really wonderful birthday this year and feel as special as you truly are. ❤️❤️🎉🎉

Love,
Lea, Zak, Helena and Beatrice

To my favorite brother-in-law, happiest of birthdays to you! What a wonderful addition to the Garden-Mastromonaco family you are.

It makes me so happy to see the love that you and Amy share, and the way you both complement each other in the best ways. I'm excited to watch your journey together.

I'm looking forward to spending lots more time together once the pandemic is over. Can't wait for the mac-n-cheese showdown between you and Braad (even though it means that I'll likely *have* to test taste a bunch of batches in the meantime. Poor me!)

Love,
Alicia and Braad

The man with many names (and acronyms)!  Can't put into this card how much you mean to Stef and I, but you're truly an amazing friend, best bud, and good example for us all.  Though it's known you like to copy us (furniture, home decore, and proposal weekends), we couldn't imagine sharing these things with anyone else.  We miss our game nights, debates, hugs, cat chats, adventures and love.  We hope we can hang out with you and the Astonishing Amy soon, and get Double Double Dutch back on the road!

Love,
Stef and Dan
