I just found out about this today and am so sorry I was not there last weekend. Phil was a very special person to. I had the pleasure of being his assistant principal at Jenkins Middle School. Those four years were four of the very best I had in education. We were such a family and I still talk about all the fun times we had. One special time was when the state auditors came to visit us and Phil and I would always take them out for oysters and drinks. As you can imagine, we always passed with flying colors. He was a good boss, friend and supporter of those who worked with him. I truly hate I was not there to say good by. He will always be remembered in my heart. Love you Phil.

Hello Nancy & Family, We are sorry we were unable to stay for Phil's service yesterday as we had church services and obligations already preset for that time. Just want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. Phil will always hold a special place in our memories. May God's blessings remain forever in your heart.

Phillip and I had decided that the race would be from one telephone pole to the next, I was certain that My horse could beat him for that distance. On the first start, we pulled up to start again, ( I later figured out that he was using it to gage my take-off speed). Phillip quickly added the return distance back to the starting point to our race. The next start was good, and I was far in front, however, When I tried to stop and turn around, the horse had different ideas. Phillip had no problems making the turn and arrived across the finish line long before I did. He reminded me of this race many time over over the years . I was truly blessed to have him in my life, in my family and in my heart for such a long time.

Our Dear Aunt Nancy and family, I am so very sorry for your loss and everyone’s loss of Uncle Phil. He was your one and only love and companion on this earth. Uncle Phil also touched many many lives. He did exactly what God wants us to do. You both live your life with the purpose, that we were placed on earth for… To do for others, with the gifts God has given to us. We will see you on Saturday at Uncle Phil’s ‘Celebration of Life’. I just want to give you a big long hug. I know the pain you are going through. Your writing has always been your outlet and excellent way of communication. Last Easter I lost my big brother, Daryl, Aunt Christine, 20 year old Niece, Kelsey. After the painful year, My Mom passed away last month. So, I have been numb. I pray a lot. I read my Bible and books our Priest has given to us. The same Priest that married Danielle handled by brother and mom’ funeral services. We don’t know what God has planned for our journey here on Earth, we just need to be receptive to it and listen to him. I love you very much! Gayle
