Rest in Peace Cousin Phil. So many memories from when we were kids. We love you and you will be in our hearts forever. See you on the other side Cuz!
I hope you’re rest well. There’s no better place you could be. Fly high with angels. We love and miss you uncle Phillip.
I have not seen you for years and years but I loved when we were young and spent many gatherings at Aunt Katie and Uncle Franks and Grandma McNews. Such great times. It’s a shame when we have to say goodbye to our loved and most cherished loved ones but at the same time if we know the Lord it is awesome what awaits us in Heaven. Thanks for the memories…RIP
