Dear Dad
Everyone remembers you and we all have a special place in our heart for you. I only hope I can be half as good a person as you are because you were the best. 2 years has past since we last spent time together and I miss you every day. Chris and I came to the cemetery and we wanted you to know that we love you and that we miss you. Our lives will go on, but we will never be the same without you. I love you with all my heart. Love Karen

Hi Dad
We will always remember you and we all miss you. The holidays will never be the same without you. I always see your face keeping a watchful eye on the turkey and I remember all the wonderful Christmases that we had together. I love you forever and always and Merry Christmas and Happpy New Year.

Hi Dad
I hope you are well and I believe that Nana is there with you. I miss you so much. Every day I think of you and all the wonderful memories that we have shared. I thank you for being my father and I thank you for being my friend. I am still angry that cancer took you away from all of us, but I know you fought as hard as you could for as long as you could. I never wanted you to suffer and I know the last few days for you were very painful. I do believe there is life after death and I know we will be together again one day. I miss you and love you all the days of my life.
Love Karen

Hi Dad,
It is Easter Monday, if only you were resurrected like Jesus! Your time on earth was far too short and Karen, Brooke and I will never be the same without you in our lives. We know life goes on and I continue to hear you and your advise.
I am in Thailand, a big step for me without your encouragement (although I do feel you are with me). I got my certified scuba license which I know you will be proud of. We know you will always watch over us.

Dear Dad
It is Easter Sunday today and I miss you so much. Chris is off fishing today. I hope he catches a big one in honour of you. I have so many memories and so many of my days I think of you and the wonderful times we had. I am sorry that in the last few years we did not spend as much time together as I would have liked. Family is very important to me and I miss you. I am glad that I got to spend some time with you at our house and that we got to talk about some of the old days. I will never forget you and losing you was the hardest thing I have ever had to go through because it meant that I could no longer talk to you or tell you how much I love and respect you. I know whereever you are you already know how much I love you and that I miss you everyday of my life. My life may never be the same, but I will always have the memories of the best father that ever lived. Remember you are my hero and I will never forget you.
Love Karen

Dear Dad
One year ago today, we lost you and I miss you just as much today as I did last year. I am sad but I have so many wonderful memories of the best father a girl could ever ask for. I went to church yesterday and I prayed that you are okay. I have been having so many flashbacks of family trips and fishing and golfing and it brings a smile to my face because I got to share all those moments with you. You are my hero and I will never forget you or the love and joy you brought into my life. I may be sad sometimes, but only because I miss hearing your voice and I hear you saying Hi sweetheart, how was your day? What happened with the kids today? Chris told me to tell you that we plan on catching lots of fish this year and that you will always be in our hearts.
I love you forever and always

Dear Dad
I miss you so much. I know people say time will heal all wounds, but in this case I do not think time will heal the piece of me that is missing because you are gone. I miss talking to you and all my memories have been flooding back, which makes me miss you even more. You are a wonderful person and I feel so lucky to have had you in my life for 42 years. I wish it was longer, but I know how hard you fought this terrible disease. I am fighting every day, some days it is a struggle because I feel so horrible. I will always fight because of you. You are and will always be the one person in my life who believed in me and who always put a smile on my face.
Thank you for always putting a smile on my face.

Dear Dad
We all came to the cemetary on your birthday. I miss you so much. You would like the wreath. It had blue carnations on it, as I know how much you liked blue. I also made sure that people would go the cemetary and see the fishing rods and golf clubs on your resting place and they would smile. They know how much you loved both sports. I know you are worried about June and I will do everything I can to help. She loves and misses you more than you will know. She just does not always say it. We have all been affected by losing you because somehow we all thought you would live forever. You beat so many odds and you are an inspiration to us all. Chris has been a wonderful husband and helped me through this and if it was not for him and my good friends I would have never made it through the loss of my father, the person I love most in this world. I will always remember how strong you were and I will never forget you for the rest of my life. When I come to join you one day I can hug you and tell you how much I love you. I miss talking to you daddy.
I love you with all my heart

Dear Dad
I want you to know that I miss and love you so much. I am remembering more of the wonderful times that we all shared as a family. I can think of you now and put a smile on my face when not so long ago all I could do was cry. I still have those moments, but I want you to know that you were the best father I could have ever asked for and I am so greatful for all the wonderful memories I have of you and I will cherish that forever. You have touched so many people's lives and you have made me a better person because I have always tried to follow in your footsteps.
Thank you for everything you have done and I will always love you because you are truly the best person I have ever known. I will love and think of you all the days of my life.

Dear Dad
I came to the gravesite for Father's Day.
I miss you so much. This week has been so hard. I just keep thinking about all the memories we have together and it's hard to imagine you not being in my life anymore. I pick up the phone all the time to call you. Your the best father and friend anyone could ever ask for.
I feel empty without you and I don't think anyone will ever understand. I thank god everyday that I got to spend some quality time with you before you passed away. I got to talk to you and also it helped me to get some perspective about my own life. I feel lucky that I have Chris in my life, he has helped me more than you could know
I love him and truly cherish the time we have together because nobody knows when it is time to say goodbye. I want to know that I did everything possible to be a good person and to treat the people in my life with as much respect as you did. Just remember I love you and that you will always be in my heart.
Love Karen

Dear Dad
My birthday is next week and I wish that you were here so that we could celebrate it together. It will not be the same without you. I miss and love you so much. Yesterday, I was thinking about some of the songs you and I liked. One of them was Jeremiah was a bullfrog and the Christmas, you and I and Susan sang Karokee. I am always thinking about you. You will always be in my heart.

Hi Dad
I want you to know that I love you and think about you all the time. You never gave up, no matter how hard things got. I will never give up. I just wish I had more time to tell you how much I loved you and how you always brightened up my day. You are the one person who alwys understood me and who was always there to hold me and love me and tell me everything will be okay. I miss you so much, mostly because I miss talking to you and listening to all your stories about your life and the wonderful memories that you had growing up. Wherever you are know that I love and miss you and that I will never forget you for the rest of my life.
I love you so much, dad.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Phillips in the last couple months of his life while I was working as his Personal Support Worker.
I enjoyed listening to him as he shared precious memories of his life.
He spoke often of how much he loved and felt loved by his family.
He had a special love for “ Karen, Susan and his granddaughter, Brooke”.
He was very proud of Brooke and her swimming abilities, although she needed some help with her fishing :) He very much appreciated all the “extra” little things that Karen & Chris did for him in order to bring meaning and joy to his life. He often spoke kindly about his friends and co-workers.
He shared about his love for golf, fishing and bird watching.
He loved life and never complained or lost his smile!
I can’t drive by Credit River Hospital without thinking of him and the wonderful person that he was! I will greatly miss you Mr. Phillips!
My deepest condolences to Karen, Chris, Susan, Brooke and everyone that loved him.

Hi Susan and Karen, I am very sorry that your father and my uncle Wayne has gone. I am not very good at putting whats in my heart into words so I would rather tell you of a memory that I have of him. One summer as a kid up at the Hanna cottage we were fooling around on the dock and I pushed Uncle Wayne in the lake, so he would not be to mad at me I jumped in after him. He looked at me and laughed and said OK you got me.He was a great man and to this day and always I will have a deep respect for him. I look forward to seeing both of you soon

Dear Karen,Susan & Aunt Pat
I am very sad for your loss. Sorry I could not attend the memorial service,but my thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very difficult time. I had fond memories of Uncle Wayne up at the Hanna cottage and many family gatherings. He had a great sense of humour. When we were all together it was so obvious that he loved you girls very much. He has left you with a lifetime of wonderful memories.
My love and prayers,Heather.

Dear Dad
It has been one week, since I lost you and even though people say that eventually the pain will go away, I feel my heart breaking and I don't think that pain will ever go away. I want you to know that I will love and think of you all the days of my life. You are my daddy and I will always be your little girl.
Love, forever Karen

Susan & Brooke, Karen & all Wayne's loved ones, Wayne was a devoted father and grandfather, who liked nothing better than a family gathering with his girls. He enjoyed delivering his Gaelic prayers of thanksgiving at celebratory dinners as much as he enjoyed tucking into a festive meal. He has given you all a lifetime of wonderful memories to cherish.
We extend our deepest and most sincerre condolences.

I just wanted to offer our deepest condolences to June and her family over the passing of Wayne.
I will always remember him for his willingness to talk to me as I would walk by his home in the Meadoways complex.
I can picture him now, helping out June with the planting of the flowers in their beautiful garden they made in front of their unit.
Wayne may be gone, but you will never be forgotten. Your were a wonderful friend and neighbour.
Our sincere condolences to June and the entire family.

I was very sorry to hear of "Uncle Wayne's" passing. So many childhood memories include the Phillips family at our cottage. We still laugh about Wayne's waterskiing antics and singing in the boat. I second my brother Brian's sentiments: he was the greatest "Junior Birdsman" ever!

The greatest "Junior Birds Man" ever. Some of the best childhood memories was summer holidays with "Uncle Wayne" and the Phillips4. Sorry for you loss. Brian
