Dear Joanne,
I am truly saddened by Phils's death. His passing will not only leave a void in your family, but in the hearts of everyone who knew him. Phils's memory will always remain deep within our hearts.
If there is anything that I can do to help in anyway, please do not hesitate to call me. My sincere thoughts and prayers are with you.
With deepest sympathy,

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.

We were sorry to hear of your great loss. We got to Philip when he came to help rebuild our kitchen a few years ago. He was a very friendly guy and we enjoyed our time with him. He will be greatly missed.

TO Jo-Anne and Crystal and Raymond so sorry to hear the loss of Phill. Was shocked to hear on Monday that he passed away on Sunday wow. So Jo-Anne may Phill rest in peace and may Jesus wrap his loving arms around you now to comfort you of this loss. May you rest in God's peace in this time of grieving. So sorry hard to believe that you were only married to Phill going on four years. Love you Jo- Anne and Raymond and Crystal.

Brother, your smile will forever be missed. You always had the childish grin on your face and lit up a room whenever you entered. The kids were always pumped after a visit from Uncle Phil.....Even though we didn't get to spend much time together in recent years you will forever be in our hearts....I will forever cherish those years where we worked together and got to spent most days with Kevin, You, and I at good old Billy's Appliances...Ahhh the good old days!!!..As Jodie put it yesterday "Your heart is as big as your hands"...Love you brother!!!!
From Roger, Jodie, Jamie, and Jessica.....
