Hi Phil,
Thinking and speaking of you often. Your mom is coming over today for the weekend. We seem to spend every anniversary together as we did on that tragic day. You would be so proud of your daughters, they have accomplished so much and they have a beautiful relationship with your MOM. Jessica is still very much a big part of their lives also. Today will be a celebration of your life cut too short.
Thinking of you often with LOVE

I was watching all the boaters out on the water today and immediately thought how much you would have enjoyed this summer. We miss you Phil and think of you often.

Jessica Monette

August 11, 2010

Well, today would've been our 8th anniversary. It's moments like this I get upset knowing what was stolen from us. Stolen from you. While it's hard, I have a chance to rebuild one day even if it takes me forever to decide to do it. You will miss out on so much you wanted to do and you'll miss out on so much of your daughters lives. I will always honour the gift you left me which is a lifetime of watching them grow and sharing in their laughter. A great gift for every anniversary that was taken away.

Jessica Monette

August 5, 2010

Wow, just over 13 months since you've passed. You're still in my mind every single day, you're still in my heart and I still feel you near me. It's still difficult to enjoy the things we did together, especially since we were the center of each others worlds. Everything I do feels familiar yet it feels different because you're not there doing them with me. Everyone assured me it would get better with time, that's not true. You just get better at hiding the hurt. I wouldn't wish this pain on anyone and it still hurts that I have to live with it every minute of every day. Remember, you're loved and missed and we'll never forget you.

Love you babe

Merry Christmas Babe!

This will be my first Christmas without you. While my heart aches it also rejoices because of all the Christmases we did share together.

I miss your laughter. Life is a bit empty without it. On this day I need to be grateful I got to hear it, and sometimes be the cause of it!!!

A best friend and partner was taken the day you were you taken from us. You'll always live on in my heart and I look forward to the day we get to join again.

Until that day, I will try to be strong and live life to the fullest so that when we meet again I can tell you wonderful stories and earn the right to spend eternity with you.

Loving you and missing you terribly,
Jess

I wish we had more time.

I've been trying to put into words what Phil meant to me. We where much alike in many ways. We always joked that I should of been with him and Jessie and my husband should be together.

I miss those perfect rib suppers that he had to make for us. Spending time with him at the cottage going for boat rides and almost flying out of the boat because of it being so bumpy.

I could always count on him when things really mattered.

I really miss you and you should have not left us in this way.
You will always be in my heart and I will never forget you.

All my love to those I call family and friends.

Good bye Phil and I love you
I will see you soon.

Hi Phil
Your dad was over on Thursday, Sept. 3rd (2 months)for an overnight visit. He and Denis went for a pontoon ride and had a good talk (mostly about you)...a few tears were shed but there was also some laughter (who wouldn't laugh at all your exploits). Bruce (your dad) misses you so much. We all do. We love you Phil...always

I am 5 years old. I will miss all the fun times we had together. I loved spending time with Uncle Fur at the cottage. We went fishing all the time and he was so proud of me the last time I was there I caught the bigest fish that day! I enjoyed spending time at the bonfire, he even made the fire change colors, that was cool! There was so much more we used to do. Uncle Fur was so fun, he was the best Uncle I could ever have.

I miss him very much. I Love you Uncle Fur.

I found Phil to be a fun loving and very competitive person, always trying to challenge me at one thing or another. He challenged me to things I've never really tried before or that I do regularly, it didn't really matter. Sometimes he won, sometimes I won, we didn't really care all that much as long as we had fun. He was a good friend and I'll miss him very much

Hi to all, I really didn't know you Phil, but heard alot about you from your cousin Laura. I wasn't sure what to write, but I decided to share with you the eulogy I wrote for my grandfather's passing. I hope you enjoy it as my family did when I wrote it.

To those I love and those who love me. When I am no longer there, release me, let me go. I have so many things to see and do, do not cry when thinking of me, be grateful for the wonderful years. I gave you my love, you can only imagine the love and happiness you gave me.
Thank you for the love you showed me. Now it is time for me to travel alone. For a short period of time you can have pain while thinking of me.
Confidence will bring comfort and consolation. We will be separated for a while. Leave our memories help your through our pain. I am not far away and life goes on. If you need, call me and I will come, even if you cannot see me or touch me, I would be there, if you listen to your heart, you clearly feel the sweetness of love that I will. And when it's time for you to leave this Earth, I will be there to welcome you into Heaven.
Absent from my body, present with God, do not go to my grave to cry, I am not there, I do not sleep there. I am the wind blowing, I am the sparkle of snow crystals, I am the light that passes through the fields of wheat, I am the gentle autumn rain, I am the waking birds in the quiet morning, I am the star that shines at night.
Do not go on my grave to cry, I am not there.
I'm not dead and I am all around you.
I love you!!

Dear Bruce and Pauline, my deapest condolences to you and Philip's children. I hope you find the strenght to go through this time and that God reasures you he is in good hands!!

"As a fond mother, when the day is o'er,Leads by the hand her little child to bed, Half willing, half reluctant to be led, And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door, Nor wholly reassured and comforted By promises of others in their stead, Which, though more splendid, may not please him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand Leads us to rest so gently, that we go Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay, Being too full of sleep to understand How far the unknown transcends the what we know.

Take care and God Bless!!
