Phyllis, so sad to hear about the loss of your dad. He was such a kind and gentle soul. Whenever we saw him, a handshake was never enough, you'd be pulled into a warm and welcoming bear hug. I hope you find strength and comfort knowing you're watched over by three special angels. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dr Serrant and staff always looked forward to when Mr. Phil and Miss Sally came in for their checkup. They were always so sweet, loving to each other , and just a delight. As an added bonus, they bought a big pan of the delicious banana pudding. I am so sorry for your loss, but I know that darling couple are happy together in heaven. Prayers coming your way.

The Lord Blessed me with Daddy P.
This man made me laugh, always made me feel loved, he was my friend.
He allowed me to call him Granddaddy and it was my honor to do so.
I will never forget the great times we had, the awesome breakfasts he cooked or the cheers we shared.
My heart is sad to know that this world will never be the same.
I love you, you were a gift and I will be looking for you in forever.
I am praying for The Lord's Comfort for all who loved Daddy P.

Uncle Phil will be very missed. He had such a huge heart and larger than life personality. I have so many fond memories over the years that bring me comfort at this time of great loss. I will truly miss his weekly calls with my mom where I'd get to talk sometimes too to hear his booming voice. I know he is in heaven and surrounded by his wife and family. We have another guardian angel watching over us.
