We, his family, Thank God for the life that Philip lived.

WE MISS YOU and WE LOVE YOU DEARLY!

Until We Meet Again

Those special memories of you

will always bring a smile

If only I could have you back

for just a little while

Then we could sit and talk again

just like we used to do

You always meant so very much

and I will always love you

The fact that you’re no longer here

Will always cause me pain

But, know you’re forever in my heart

until we meet again.
