God saw you were getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So He put His arms around you
And whispered, “Come with Me.”

With tearful eyes we watched you suffer And saw you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay
A Golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands to rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best
Love Ya Forever

Dear Pat and son,

I was saddened to read of Phillip's passing. He was a very kind and pleasant man throughout his battle with cancer. He is to be admired not only for being such a wonderful person but also for his tremendous courage. Pat, I know you both fought this long battle and I admire you also, as you always remained kind..never bitter. You will be in my prayers.

Love,
Terry Cyr (now in Tucson) I worked at Walgreens

I shed a tear for the first time in a while today, In remembrance of a good man who passed away. A man who was strong no matter what hand he was dealt, A man whose passion for family and life was truly heartfelt. I will always remember the good times we had, And when I think of you, will try not to be sad. A man who created things of concrete and wood, Would also bring beauty to art, like no others could. So as you wrap your arms around the carpenter's SON, He already knows all about the good works you have done........You will be missed...Kit
