To The Duling Family:

I've known Phillip since I can remember. He grew up with my mom and dad and other family members. So I am sure he's known me since birth. I'm sadded to hear of his passing and he will be truley missed, and I trust your memories of your time together will bring you comfort. The one memory that pops up significantly for me is the time he visited Glenda and George's place and I guess I was about 7 years old. He had an old pickup truck and was dating a blonde chick at the time (for the life of me I cannot remember her name) and I was playng in the back of it and an Aerosmith song came on the radio. Phillip cranked the volume up and I absolutley loved it. I was like WOW Tulip, I love that song. It's pretty. He told me I was an angel and I knew he was being sarcastic. hahaha I owe him for introducing me to rock and roll and the love of Aerosmith. The name of the song was Angel. Every time I hear the song on the radio I think of him and now it will be even more special. May God wrap his arms around you and hug you tight as you grieve for the loss of your son, brother, uncle and friend.

My dear friend Linda, Joseph Lee and Mrs. Duling,
There are no words to tell you just how saddened I am that your family is going through this sorrow. Many times in our lives we travel down dark and lonely roads and feel as if we are all alone. God watches over us and is there for us whenever we need him, all we have to do is pray and ask for his guidance.

Please remember this as you look back and remember all the wonderful gifts that Phillip brought to each of your lives. May you find peace and comfort in the memories that each of you cherish.
