Tara I am so sorry for your loss. May you find it in God and your family to give you the strength to move forward and onward with your children! May Phil rest in peace and guide you when needed.

December 31, 2013

I heard the sad news yesterday and my heart is deeply saddened. Phil was the first friend I made at the age of 4yrs old when my family moved to Kildare. I have fond memories of Phil from playing sports, hanging out, playing cards a.k.a (getting hustled by Phil), and will hold those memories close. Phil is probably challenging God to see who the better three point shooter is. God bless his family! Cheers Phil.
