God Bless you Courtney, Patrick and Brandon. Your daddy loved you so much. I was a friend of Martha's in Beckley, and met your daddy through her. I always saw him when he would visit her. We would keep in touch between visits. When I came to Atlanta for a visit - he was the best tour guide ever. I will never forget his smile and his laugh. What a great person he was. May he rest in the arms of Jesus. With Love, Janie Flanagan (Beckley, West Virginia)

We remember Phil coming to the Emergency Room at night to check on us and when he started working days he came by to check on day shift just to see if we were ok, I have know Phil because we are all douglas county natives, we will miss his smiling face, and his deep concerning voice if it was needed for someone who was acting up in the emergency room, and he was always fair. We will miss you greatly Phil, at least you are not in pain anymore.
