An Angel in the Book of Life wrote down your baby's birth and whispered as she closed the book to "beautiful for earth."

Words cannot express the sadness we feel in our hearts for your family! I have no answer to why God has decided to call your precious child "HOME to HEAVEN", and only HE knows the reason. I can assure you though, that you will be "TOGETHER AGAIN" someday. Prayed for a miracle but the miracle was that she was to be cradled in the arms of JESUS instead. We are so sorry for your loss and will continue to keep all of you in our prayers that GOD will wrap HIS loving arms around you, comfort you and give you the courage to "Keep on, Keeping on" with your lives, until that beautiful day when you will all be reunited once again!!!

Wendy, Glenn & Casey, May God give you peace and comfort at this difficult time. Please know your family is in our prayers and also in those of others you don't even know. God Bless you for sharing your darling baby girl's organs. That was very heroic of you and saved others lives even during your terrible loss. You are to be commended. Your sweet angel lives on in Heaven, but also on earth in the lives she saved, may that be of some small peace to you. In Christian Love.

Our prayers are with the entire Phillips family. I remember just a few weeks ago when Wendy was singing a solo at church and Lilly was in the pew singing every word with Wendy! Heaven was blessed with another angel when Lilly went home. We pray for God's peace and comfort for her family members that remain behind.

You have our sympathy here on earth. You will miss her. She is resting in Jesus' arms, playing on streets of gold and never will hurt again. Be consoled in that. God is good.

Your family is in our thoughts & prayers always! May you all find comfort in the loving arms of God & in the spirit of our little angel Lilly Grace from heaven. She will be truly missed! It will be another trying time of adjustment for me( Belle) being used to seeing her for the last 2 years in vacation bible school. I can always picture her out opening the door at the choir room every sunday morning. That precious expressive eyes that can always melt your heart & bring you joy every sunday morning is one hard thing to let pass knowing that it will not gonna be the same no more every sunday. We love you & will be missing you so much!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
