Memories and Condolences
for Todd McPhail

Not sure what to say?





I worked with Todd at Mott Children's Hospital. The first day I started I was assigned to Todd. We went to get a child in the waiting room. The child was terrified. Todd got down on the floor with him and talked to him and played a while till he gained his confidence. I liked him from that moment on.

I worked with Todd at Mott Children's hospital. The children absolutely adored him. He was fantastic at what he did. He was a loving and caring man and it makes my heart hurt to think of this world without this sweet man.

Always will think of Todd and remember our times in England. It saddens me to think someone so much full of life is gone from this world. We remember only the special people we come across in our life and this was one of them.

Todd was a good friend of mine through one of my best friend's Jenell. They would come over for dinner, or me and my husband would join them for dinner and a drink. They were always the couple we called to have fun and that we always did. Todd lit up the room when he walked in, made everyone laugh, always was so sweet. When me and my husband were pregnant him and Jenell went shopping and he bought me baby diapers :( Played basketball with my son Shawn when he'd come over. Was great with Jenell's son Gage. Always wanted to be the best father to his child he could be as well as a father figure to Gage. Such a smart, funny lil sweet heart! He lived a fun life. We all had lots of great times together. He will be greatly missed D':

I am truely sorry for the loss of such an amazing father, son, brother...and for the loss of my dear friend..there are no words to help or to console..To his friends: carry the memories, hold them like precious jewels, for that is exactly what they are......To his family: I have been where you are, it does not get better with time like everyone tells you, in fact some days will hurt even more than today...But some days it will be very much better, you will laugh and smile and cherish your memories..Live for those days.......Todd would have wanted nothing less...
