Sorry to hear about your family loss, but "God" always knows what is best -- may he be with you in this time of need.
Myself and Phillip played basketball together at South High - he was a top notch fellow, and even though I had not seen him in awhile-- I know he was a notch better, because thats the type of guy he was.
If there is anything that I can do, please do not hesitate to let myself know.

To All My Family Members:
Phil has transitioned to a land where there is no more sickness. he will be missed and sometimes the tears will fall from the hurt we are feeling. But I thoank God that he is now completely healed. No more short breaths, no more struggling to move, no more sleeping sitting up, no more going from room to room in a wheelchair: he is now healed with no more struggles about his health.
One thing I am certain about cuz, he knew Jesus Christ as his Savior. And that is enough for me, because I know I will see him again. And the next time we meet, we will never have to worry about leaving each other again. I love you family, I wished that I could be there with you. Our prayers is your strength in the Lord be manifested during this time of discomfort and sorrow.

To the White family, I was one of his home health aides. He always greeted me with a smile and was always polite and a great kidder. His love of music was so evident in his apartment. The world will miss him. Love and comfort to his family.
