Uncle Phil, It has been such a blessing being your niece! Many of my fondest memories include you and I will always remember your gentle kindness. We always had a good time with you as kiddos and there was never a doubt how much you love us! Your legacy will live on in your precious wife, children, and grandchildren. You've shown them the meaning of love, fun, caring and serving God and you've been such a great leader and example. You will live forever in my heart and I will always remember you fondly! It's not goodbye, it's just 'til we meet again. To Aunt Val, Cheri and Mike, and Brad and Sarah: Thank you all so much for sharing him with us and making him so proud and happy. We mourn with you, we love you and we're keeping you close to our hearts. I'm sorry you're hurting but God will bring you peace until you can see him again. I'm sure he's already working on finding a good fishing spot! We love y'all!
