To a mother their is no greater loss than too loose a child. The loss is only greater when that child has become a husband. If I could look back at the last couple of day...to change this I wish i could. Now the loss belongs to my child.Ced was part of our family. It true Shonda you may not see him. He's there in every room, in every little thing that happens. If I could have held yours and Ced's life in my hand, he would still be with you but I can't. The only thing I can try to do is let you know how much I LOVE YOU and your family. Words can not say what I feel in my HEART. I love You always.

Roshunda, it is with our deepest heartfelt sympathy that I sit and pen these words there truly is no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. We will continue to pray for you and your family that The Lord continues to smile on your family as he always has. We will continue to pray that you are able to find that inner place of peace as well as divine strength taking comfort in knowing you are special and all things have a season. There is a season of peace and yours is awaiting you. Although you are may not be able to right now find yours It is there and I pray that you are able to look through those tears and find your place of peace.

My Heart goes out to the Phillips Family:
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil: my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Amen...... Psalms 23:1-6

Dear Phillips Family:
It is always difficult to lose a loved one. I pray God?s comfort and strength upon you. The tears and heartache will come and go when this day passes. But remember, there is a God who sits high and looks low. He is present every where we go. He loves us and hates to see our pain. Stay prayerful and know Ced?s living was not in vain.
I wish I could be there with you to lend my support. I remember Cedric as a very humorous and friendly guy. He always had a comment to make you laugh. Think of the good times you shared and it will bring you peace. I love you and pray that God continue to comfort and keep you during your time of sorrow. Joy cometh in the morning.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart?Proverbs 3:5

Shunda, I never met Cedric but I've heard some great things about him. I know it hurt and the best prayer that you can pray is for God to give you the strength to stay in the race. My heart goes out to you and your family. If you need me, I'm only a phone call away. With much love, Tameca, Isaiah, Josiah.

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.

To the Family of Cedric Phillips: Even though I could not be with you all to share your grief, I want you to know that I'm hurting along with each and everyone of you. Cedric was a good man whom I've known his entire life and I will miss him dearly just as you all. Lester and Judy, being the Christains that you both are I can not tell you how to look to the hills for whence cometh your help all your help cometh from the Lord. I pray for your entire family during this time of sorry.
From the Hunt Family

Shaunda and Family,
Ced was a great husband, father, and for small time I have known him a great friend. I thank God today for allowing BJ, Markiah, and myself the opportunity to get to know him. Shaunda you know we love you guys and if there is anything we can do, dont hesitate to call me.
May God give you strength in your time of sorrow.

Through the hurt, I pray to God that it will always be remembered that when absent from the body, there is presence with the Lord.
I know from my own experiences that this is a difficult time. My deepest heartfelt condolences go out to the family. Cedric was a son, a father, a brother, a cousin, a nephew and a friend. Whomever may be reading this; and whatever relationship you had with him; may his memories in your hearts be the needed salve to soothe the grief and mourning.
Wishing you hope, comfort, and closeness with God Almighty in the midst of pain and sorrow,
