My memories with Phil
I will never forget the times at O'Rourkes especially when someone dared you to dance for 20 bucks-you did. Our drive to NH with Michael, Irene and me. Our times fishing at stoddard. Thirty years of memories I just can't list them all.
I will miss you I know you will not be waiting in the driveway for Michael to come home anymore. But you will always be in my thoughts. Love you Sharyn

Egerton family I know how hard it is to lose a close family member. My thoughts and my familys are with you. We wish you find comfort among each other in this tuff time.
A few thoughts i came accross during my times.

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
and things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art; to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.


A brief candle; both ends burning
An endless mile; a bus wheel turning
A friend to share the lonesome times
A handshake and a sip of wine
So say it loud and let it ring
we are all a part of everything
the future, present and the past
Fly on proud bird
you’re free at last.


God saw you were getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So he put his arms around you
And whispered, "Come to me"
With tearful eyes we somehow knew
And felt you pass away
Although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay
A golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
Things happen for a reason and he only takes the best.

Eli and Family
