A LIMB HAS FALLEN
A limb has fallen from the family tree,
I keep hearing a voice that says ''Grieve not for me.''
''Remember the best times, the laughter, the song,
The good life lived while I was strong.
Continue my heritage, I'm counting on you,
Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through.''
My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest,
Remember all, now I truly was blessed.
Continue traditions, no matter how small,
Go on with your life, don't just stare at the wall.
I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin,
Until the day comes we're together again.

To the West Family...
Philip and I were in the same grade in school, and in our high school years, we had to sit alphabetically in order... and that means, he and I were always in the last row.. beside one another.. and he was the sweetest, nicest, critter ever! (all boys were critters while in school :) )
Praying for the family.
Much love and respect,
Michelle Way-Fuller

Penny, Mrs Mary Grace and the West family - We are so sorry for your loss and the loss of this dear young man. Our children have close friends and family, then they grow up and all go their separate ways, but their are some that will always remain special and Philip was one of those.
May God give you a peace that only He can.
