“Once my phone started ringing, it hardly stopped for the past 72 hours,” Jace adds.
Phil is also certainly grateful for the love and support he has received.
“Although my father is famously aloof from technology, in his words, “computer land'' is full of love and gratitude for everything he has given us in life. I love hearing that there are people who are representing,” Al says.
These prayers seem to have a huge impact on Phil's mental as well as physical health.
“He took some of the pain away, and I started to think that was the prayer of millions of people over the last four days,” Jack Dasher said.

“I fought the good fight, I finished the race, I kept the faith. Now the crown of righteousness is prepared for me, and on that day the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me, and not only me, He will bestow it upon all who have been waiting for His appearing,” Al reads.
