Tributes
"I miss you so much my love"
" I'm so sorry for your loss. Please accept my deepest sympathy. May you find comfort from your memories, as well as God's word the bible. Why do people we love die? Romans 5:12 says: "That is why, just as through one man (Adam) sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned." How loving of God to promise what is found at Revelation 21:4 which says, "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." "
"Phil had a caring heart and a great sense of humor. I know he will be missed. Even though I hadn't seen him since college, I feel the hole that he left."
"Phil and I were in the same class together at Knox County High School. I was lucky enough to see his kind heart, funny sense of humor and his love and talent at art. I was overjoyed when he became a father and was so glad for him. I know he will be missed deeply but his spirit will always live one. God bless you in this time of sorrow. My heart is with you. "
"What a bright, cheerful, and caring spirit! This world will miss you. "
"I watched Phillip grow up in Knox County. My last meeting with him was at a Red Cross Blood drive, he was the one doing the blood taking work. May the family have wonderful memories of a loving heart. "
"My Most Deepest Condolence to the Family... May God give you the Strength that you need a this time , He says In The Holy Scripture PSALMS 34 :18 " Jehovah is close to the BROKENHEARTED ; He saves those who are crushed in spirit..... if you need more information Please go to www.jw.org....
