It's hard to belive that it has already been a year since god took you away from us. Not a day gose by that we don't miss you. here is a poem that show how i feel
In memory of you
Phillip Cruz
If I am hurt or down,
I will try
I will think of you in my times of need,
When my life is getting rough,
When I’m down with a frown, I know
That the memory of your face will cheer me up
When I try so hard to move on,
I began to breakdown and cry
I will think of the happier place you have move onto,
And once again I will try
So when we’re all missing you so,
All we have to do is try
To think about the happy time we had with you,
And then you will know we tried
If we’re hurt or down we’ll try
I love you Phillip and I will try not to cry

It will soon be a year on the 4th, since you've been gone Phillip. I was left in shock that morning, and I still can't believe it. I know now you are at rest and watching over your family and friends. We are all left with your memories. You are always in my prayers Phillip.

I miss you Phillip. We all miss you. In the back of my mind I still think you will come home to us. One day we will see you again. Be in peace my brother.
Love your sister.

I've tried to think over and over what to say about this but I cant really find the words. No words can really explain the hurt, the sadness, the unyeilding pain that rips away at our hearts knowing that we cant give you a hug or touch you. I can barely see the screen past the tears running down my face. My condolences go out to your family. I cant imagine losing a son. I dont know what I would do. Somehow your family has been covered with this grace that can only come from such a loving God. I think about the times all of us had together and my heart breaks. I think about all the pranks we would all pull on each other, and my heart breaks. Im sorry. I never stop thinking about your infectous character. We miss you like you never could believe. We love you more you would have ever known.

Phillip, son, dear son, I miss you so much. The emptiness without hearing your voice, the lonliness without having you next to me, the laughter that we shared, the tears for all that we shared, the pains of growing up, are with me everyday and the rest of my living days. Be it known each day that you're with us every day of our lives. Your daddy.

You're always remembered, never forgotten. You and your family are still in my prayers. I still remember how you would always tell me to just live life and let it be then give me these little life lessons. I still can't believe it. You will always be missed.

Phillip, my brother, I miss you. Not a second goes by when I don’t think about you. It’s been four months and it still feels like you left us just yesterday. The pain is still just as strong. I pray that you are in peace my brother, and are looking over us with your angelic wings. We are each trying to be strong for one another. You’d be so proud of Malia. Every time I see her doing, or saying something new I think of you. It’s because of you that she has grown up to be so beautiful and intelligent. She has not forgotten you Phillip and still gives you kisses and says, “That’s my tio,” when she sees your pictures. I’ll be honest and say that it’s been especially hard for me lately without you. You were always there for me, like my big brother to give me advice. You were my baby brother, my buddy, and my best friend and I miss you. You were always there to take my side and protect me when the others wouldn’t. You were a believer in living life to its fullest, and a believer in true love. The four of us were all supposed to grow old together, but God had much bigger plans for you. I pray we will all be together again someday, like the family we once were. I miss you Phillip, and I love you very much.

Miss you so much...it's hard to face the facts.

Phillip was such a great guy. Always had great advice, jokes, and a smile to brighten your day. Losing a friend is so tough, it's all like a dream, wish it never happened, but God needs his angel. Miss you so much and I cant wait to see you again.

I am always thinking of you Phillip. Not morning or evening will pass that a memory of you wont cross my mind. I think of you always lifting me up as well as everyone around you. I remember you being the best Tio to my little girl, she misses you too. Actually she thinks you went out to get a fish for your room, and I didn't tell her any different. I'll always remember us dancing in the car to silly songs and you hanging out with Daniel and I. You hold a precious place in my heart. I know that God needed that perfect little smile to be in the most perfect place, and I know you will have it when I see you again. I LOVE YOU SOO VERY MUCH.

Dedicated to Felipe:
The loss of a loved one
Can never be replaced
The love that we are given
Almost as equivalent as we take
Our memories at a distant
Of life's true fragility
Living each day in history
To solidify our place in time
All we can do is remember
The great things we forgot
And cherish each memory
For the loved one we lost
Felipe, I will never forget you and you will never be forgotten, always a reminder in my heart your soul everlasting.

Phillip,
I'm still in disbelief, but I know you're watching over us right now. We're going to miss you at work, especially that smile of yours. I know God is taking care of you though. I have you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. We miss you Phillip...

Felipe, that's how I knew him, and always will. I LOVED THIS MAN! HE WAS/ALWAYS WILL BE MY BEST FRIEND. He will always hold a special place in my heart and in my life. I often wonder, who will I text everyday now, who will be my eating buddy at Buffalo Wild Wings, or wonder if I will ever return to eat there. I miss you terribly, and I have no doubt that GOD loved you most, and it was time to go home, to do HIS work. I will see you one day my friend. I know that you are with me. I promise I will be there for my brothers and sisters, Julian, Daniel, Heidi, Malia, and Cecilia, and Momma because they are truly my family. I LOVE YOU! I MISS YOU!

I'm his recent girlfriend Crystal Kerby.
He always was happy, and made sure we had a good time together. Our favorite place to eat was McDonalds,and then we would eat in my car, his dream car. I'm only shraing one memory of ours, the rest is between us.
I LOVE YOU BABY ALWAYS AND FOREVER, YOU HAVE MY HEART FOREVER. LOVE YOUR DREAM GIRL CRYSTAL.
