Miss you lots buddy. One of the very few good people I knew. Taken away from us way too soon. Will always remember the stupid and funny things we'd do in the games we played. The times you were there to just hang out and chat. The times we'd stay up until daylight and just hang out. Much love to you, buddy
Rest easy and rest well. We'll see you again, some day

The bond between a parent and a son is unbreakable, even by death. His love will always be with you. May the memories of your son´s love be your strength during this dark time. You have my deepest condolences.

I'll miss you, Phillip. We barely knew each other but we were cadets. I looked up to you the most. You were too young. Rest well and easy. See ya on the flip side.
