Please Pray for Phil Berg

icebrrrg · 12-18-2008, 11:32 PM

Our dear brother Phil was airlifted to Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne, FL when the "worst headache that I ever had" turned out to be bleeding deep inside of his brain. He is heavily sedated now in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit and after initial testing today, will have an angiogram Friday morning to try to pinpoint the location and to determine the best course of action.

Paul and I always enjoy racing and working on the race car even more when Phil is there with us. Phil was Paul's partner on the Super Stock Chevelles that they raced in the early-mid 70's - a station wagon that held the SS/Q national record and a SS/O '64 Malibu SS that finished tied for 4th in Division 2 points. Anybody that knows Phil, knows that he is a very special guy. Please keep Phil in your prayers in the days ahead.

Thank you and God bless you all,

Mark and Paul Berg
I/S 2665 and 2664

I'm without words at the moment except my heart has dropped to my gut. It's people like your family who make this sport a lot of fun. Please tell Phil we're praying for him & need to have him around for a while.

Mark & Paul,
I'm very sorry to hear about Phil. Although I don't personally know him he was kind enough to share some of his old pictures and stories with me. Phil will be in my thoughts and prayers and may God give you strength and peace as you go through this difficult time.
