Phillips family,

Where to start. When I received the call Friday night I was in total shock. There are so many memories; playing ghost in the grave yard, kick the can and tag in the school yard growing up. Hearing stories from Tom and laughing half the night away.. watching Tony grow from a young boy, to a teenager, to a man. It was an honor to standing up in your wedding and to watch Tony become a father. How he loved you and the girls Kara. My God give ALL of you the strength you will need and watch over you. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

To the entire Phillips family,
WOW, what a shock to hear the news of Tony's passing. I went to Queen of the Rosary with him, and I want you all to know that Tony was (we found out as grown ups) always the girls secret crush. He was a sweetheart, had a great smile, and cute dimples. May God bless all of you, and hold you up at this most difficult time in your lives!!
