I met Phillip as a kid and the old photos remind me of that time. Taken to soon, but your memory will live on. My heart goes out to his family. I am deeply sorry for your loss.

Philip was a bright light in our lives and will be missed. I was honored to be Philip's Aunt. I Love him as well as Chris and Alison. My heart goes out to my brother Keith and Teresa and to Jane. My mother Ann and Jane's mother Jean have a major hole in the family. May God give us strength in our Journey till we get to see him again in Heaven. Love to all families. Love Kay and Glenn Jackson

Philip by the grace of God we were given a chance to know you, spend time with you, and love you. We cheered your successes and attempted to heal your wounds, we laughed, we cried, we smiled, we prayed. You were a gift in our lives. Philip you were loved more than you will ever know. Our time together was way too short, thank you for all you did to brighten our lives. We all have a moment we could share, moments we could say this is the way you helped us, you brightened our path. Hold the light for us to follow someday. We have lost a loved family member, a brother, a friend and a son. This is hard for me today, as we are the ones left behind to pick up the pieces. I will miss you my friend, my son. I will see you some day to continue this conversation, and shake your hand and hug your neck and let you tell me the story of your journey. I believe that Philip is no longer in pain or unhealthy, he is happy and joyful on the path. God thank you for the gifts you give us, watch over our children help guide them. Give us the strength to see your wisdom and trust your judgement to handle the things we cannot. Please guide us and show us a way to be more helpful, more respectful, more compassionate, more understanding. Please God give us the faith to see the mercy you give us freely just for asking to be with you. I may fail you today, it will not be for the lack of trying or compassion, it will be because I am human and will need to be reminded it is God’s will God’s way. Help me in my time of great sorrow and grief. Dad

I met Phillip when he was just a little kid. He was friends with my nephew. When I would visit my sister, Phillip would be there playing with him. There were times when we would travel to Gatlinburg TN for spring break and Phillip would go with us. I remember him being a kind, sweet boy and well mannered. He was always laughing and smiling - I do remember that very well. I have to add that Christopher’s sister and Nicole were friends during all this same time. Many, many times all these kids would be together at my sisters house. So, Phillip and Nicole knew each other and were friends, when they were kids, too. Way later in life, Nicole and Phillip dated, then married. I saw Phillip this past summer at my nephews house for a cook out. He was happy and smiling on this day,’too. I have nothing but good memories about Phillip. May he Rest In Peace.

I am so sorry about Phillip. I knew him as a child. Always very sweet, kind and well mannered. He did travel with me and some of my family members during spring break to Gatlinburg, TN. His friend was my nephew. They have been friends for a long time. I did see Phillip this past summer at my nephews house for a cook out - I want to say it was a holiday. We talked for a good little while. I am thankful that I saw him then. May he Rest In Peace and may God Bless his entire family. Again - I am so sorry for your loss -
