Phil, Rebecca and I all moved to Atlanta to work for Bank of America. It was extremely stressful and Phil would console us by saying "it´s going to be all right". And it was. I´ve never seen a man so happy to be gifted a daughter, an angel to him that he named Angel. He talked about her all the time and always showed us pictures. He glowed when he spoke of her. I think of you often Phil.

We miss you dearly Phil. However, we know that we will see you again when we get to heaven. You were my dearest friend and I loved you like my brother. Val and Angel, our hearts go out to you and you are in our thoughts and prayers daily. May The Lord give you unspeakable peace in this difficult time of your lives. God bless you both.

Phil was one of my dearest friends. I've known him since high school and we've kept in touch ever since. He and Adrian have always been like big brothers to me. His home going service was on my 30th birthday, but I still went. I had to say good bye to my big brother in Christ. At least for now, for I know I'll see him again one day. I didn't have the strength within me to say anything to any of you on that day, but please know that he will always be with us in our hearts. I am truly a better person because Phil was a part of my life.

To the Thompson Family.....
I haven't kept in constant touch with Phil since he moved from Chicago, but I remember him from High School. He always kept me laughing in class and on the #28 bus. To his family: Phil may not be here in the physical sense, but his spirit will be with you always.

I came to know Phil as a co-worker at BOFA Georgia. Phil will always be remembered as a kind, and gentle soul. He had a presence about him that drew people to him. Although he has passed his gentle loving spirit will continue to live on through his family and friends. May the comfort of knowing this strenghten you during this difficult time.

My deepest sympathies to the family of Phil Thompson. Phil it has been over ten years since i have seen or heard from you, but upon hearing the news it hit me as hard as if we where in contact everyday. You kept me laughing in geometry at the "HP". And to this day, you and only you would be the only one who could mispronounce my name (Tiny!!!). And thanks for all the funny emails. Love You, Tahnee

Val and Angel,
I was very saddened to hear of Phil's passing. I remember back to BofA in Tampa working second shift, all of the fun times we had. And then on to Atlanta, the birth of your daughter and his happiness. I will never forget Phil's wonderful sense of humor or his bright smile. He could always make us laugh through the every day challenges. I pray that God will ease your pain in this time of sorrow. God bless you and all of your family in the days ahead.

No words can begin to tell you how much I love you both.

We all miss him very much and I know this time is very difficult especially for you, Val but always remember, Phil's spirit will be with you both always, and not only for you but for his friends or family.

Valencia,
I am having such difficulty in finding the appropriate things to say without being insensitive.
I am so sorry I never had the pleasure of meeting Phil, but I know he had to be a wonderful person to have found someone like you. Keep the faith and don't let this circumstance tear you down. One day, we will all leave this place called Earth in hopes of going on to our glorious home in Heaven. What a day that will be!!!
God Bless,

To write this as an ending means something that I am not willing to do... and that's forget a wonderful friend. So I will claim this the 'WELCOME' to you who read this into that BLESSED CIRCLE OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS knowing that your husband, father, brother, cousin, nephew, son or friend was a wonderful, caring man and a good friend. Rest in eternal peace Phil. I will miss you. God Bless you Val and Little Miss Angel.

I love you all and remember your family here in Cleveland, OH is always here for you when you need us.

It was a great privilege to have a friend like you Phil G. If you know the Thomas Family, we really don’t take outsiders well, yet Phil WAS FAMILY. The Thomas and Lewis family embraced Phil as one of our own. He was known as “Family-Friend-Phil.” He always came to every family function bringing his smile, charisma, and a ton of jokes. It was never a dull moment with Phil around. Thanks for the Laughs and Memories, you will never be forgotten and you will be deeply missed.

The past two years of being neighbors and knowing Phil has truly been a blessing and privilege for us. It’s like he was family, as well as you and Angel. I don’t think we have ever meet anyone one day and the next you would have thought we had known one another all our lives. That’s the effect Phil had on people. His heart was truly welcoming of others, as well as your home. He was the type of person you would always see looking out for others, their children, waving and just speaking to everyone in the neighborhood, and always seemed happy no matter what. You, Angel, and all of his family are and will forever be blessed with such sweet memories and to be a part of something and someone who was so dear and humble. I can’t express how deeply sadden we are for your lost, and everyone else that has had a chance to come in contact with Phil. However he is truly in a better place and will continue to glow and shine up above as he did while here with us.
Sincerely
The Winsteads

My deepest sympathy and condolences goes out the entire Thompson family. I met Phil about 15 years ago in Tampa Fla through my cousin T.J and I must say that we have been friends ever since. Even though we didn’t see each other often, he always showed me love whenever I saw or talked to him. Phil “G” your beautiful smile will be truly missed. He was a good friend as well as family. I still can’t believe it. It feels so unreal for all or us. Phil will always go on in my heart and memories. He will be greatly missed.

It hwas a privilege working and knowing Phillip ( Suge). I am blessed to have had the opportunity to have him as a friend for the time that I knew him. I know that he is in a better place but I will still miss him. To Val and Angel be strong, both of you were his pride and joy and he loved you dearly. I remember when Angel was born it was a joyous day for him. All we have left are his memories, his wonderful smile and great sense of humor. I can still see him now, he always had the newest pair of tennis shoes when they came out and I used to tease him about them. We had some good times working together on both 3rd and 1st shifts. I shall truly miss you my friend. I'm here for yoy Val and Angel if either one of you ever need me. I shall miss the e-mails and the jokes but Phillip will always be with me in my thoughts. I love you all.

I wish to extend my deepest sympathies to the family of Phillip Thompson. I first knew him as a co-worker, but eventually came to regard him as a friend. He was always kind, compassionate, full of encouragement, and his sense of humor brightened the lives of all those around him. I consider myself privileged to have known him and for those closer to him than I, I have this to say: Those who mourn are blessed, and shall eventually be comforted (Matthew 5: 1-11). If you are feeling the pains that are associated with death, know that it merely reflects the richness and depth of the love Phillip both gave and received from you in life.

To Val and Family....
Phil was like family to me, Dawn, and Dee. Like a cusin that was always around for the hook up. The last time I saw him was at my house for my daughters birthday party a month ago and we all had so much fun together with the kids. He will be missed so much. If there is anything that me and my family can do for you Val please call on us. We are here for you and Angel.
