The Family

For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time for my departure is close. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

— 2 Tim. 4: 6-7

Father and Mother to SonPhilip, We love you son, and that goes without saying, and even in the midst of heavy hearts and sadness we will not cease our praying. We will bless Thee oh Lord for You alone are the one, who looked down on our family and blessed us with our son. Baby, we watched you grow from a boy into a man. We nurtured you, encouraged you, helped you up when you would fall, but we never dreamed that you’d be the first to hear the Master’s call. However, we rest easy knowing that God’s word is true. Asthma, pain, struggles, and earthly troubles are over for you. He loved you, and He welcomed you. Philip, here on earth your face we’ll no longer see, but we thank you for our grandbabies, your beautiful legacy. Thank you for being the son that you were, the father, brother, cous-in, and friend too. Thank you for the memories, and for making it so easy to love you.

We’ll love you forever Son,MoM and dad

Blessed is a man who endures trials, because when he passed the test, he will receive the crown of life that He has promised to those who love Him.

— James 1:12

We must believe when fall the blowThat, wisely God has willed it so.
