My beautiful child, I will miss you so much. I know you are watching over us all right now with those beautiful eyes taht you can now see out of. I know you are up there running around with those chubby little legs and feet that now transport you to where you want to go. I know in my heart you are in a better place then the rest of us and with that knowledge I feel comfort. I love you with everything that I am my sweet boy. I will never forget those moments we have shared. I will never forget those long trips we shared. Im sorry I wasnt the perfect mother to you but I tried my hardest to be the best that I could be. Im sorry that I made you imperfect for your time here on earth but I know you are a perfect little angel in heaven now my love. Your memory will live on forever within all the hearts you have touched. We will meet again another time another place but you will forever be in my heart. I love you Peanut and always will.

My darling liitle Phillip,
How much you have taught us in your short time...you gave us wisdom, courage and taught us what unconditional love is. These are truly important lessons to learn. Ones that God helped us all with. We are going to miss you dearly. I know you are in a better place and at peace now. Your great Grampy is alot of fun and your Aunt Keri is with you also. We now have another special angel, and special you truly were. We love and miss you.
Love,
Nana

God saw you were getting tired
and it was not meant to be.
So he put his arms around you
and whispered "come to me"
With tearful eyes we watched you
and saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
he only takes the best!

Phillip will always be on our minds and in our hearts and will be missed so very much! We love you lil man...rest in peace.

Our hearts are broken again for the second time in such a short time. What a welcome Phillip must have received from his grandparents! I'm sure they are enfolding him in their loving arms as is our loving God. We now have another angel to look over us. love
