Philip was always such a caring and thoughtful person, and always seemed to have a smile on his face. Even though we didn't see each other very often I always loved being with him and the rest of the family. I know Philip will be greatly missed, but I know he has left many, many wonderful memories for all who loved him. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.
