Jeffrey was someone with a comforting smile and a loving heart. I will think about him every day and remember how special of a person he was. He touched so many lives. Love you Jeffrey.

I did not know Jeffrey. I live about ten houses up from where Jeffrey lived on Union Street. When I heard of his loss my heart went out to his entire family and friends. I lost my eldest son in a similar way twenty-three years before. When I drive by Jeffrey's house, I do look over at the picture and flowers at the tree. Please accept my heart-felt sympathy and prayers for you all. May God Bless you and assure you that some day you will see each other once again.

Sincerely,
Mrs. S. Rober

My deepest sympathies on the loss of Jeffrey. While I didn't know him personally I am friends with two of his cousins, Sharon and Jim. Knowing them and other members of the family as I do, I know Jeffrey was just as special. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Phillips family.

I had only met Jeff a few times at Peter Mongomery's gigs. He seemed to be a very nice guy with a dry sense of humor. I am shocked and saddened to what happen to him. It's just not right. I hope the justice system will work and put the man who did this away for the rest of his life. My deepest sympathy to Jeff's family and to his many friends.
