We love you and miss you dearly. Rest in peace sweet son, until we're together again. Hugs and kisses, Mom

Happy Birthday in heaven dear son. Today, 36 years ago, you came into our lives and brought so much happiness, so much love we never knew we could feel. You were such a special little boy and turned into such a wonderful young man, a son anyone would be proud to have. You were with us for too short a time, but are grateful for having had you in our lives. We miss you fiercely and wish you were here to celebrate your special day. Today we all gathered to remember and celebrate you. Although you are not here physically, you are always in my heart and thoughts every day. God bless you and I pray you have found peace and your spirit is free and happy. Until we're together again, I send you my love. Mom

Dearest Son, Today would have been your 35th Birthday. I miss you so much dear Philip. Memories of birthdays gone by are all I have now, I wonder how you'd be celebrating this special day, what a fine man you would have become,a husband, a father.....? How I wish you were here. I miss you every day, long to hear your voice, your laughter, the special way you made us feel. We're so proud of what a special young man you were and we await the day when we'll all be reunited forever. I love you sweetheart, I pray you were celebrating with all our family and friends who left too soon. I send you all of my love today and ever day. God bless you. Mom

My dearest son, yesterday was your birthday and you would have been 33 years old. How we missed you, I cannot express the sadness, the longing, the pain of not having you here with us. I pray you are well, a happy free spirit, without the problems and troubles of this life here on earth. We love you and have faith we will all be reunited in heaven one day. You are always on my mind, in my heart and in my prayers. I love you my sweet son. God bless you. Mom

Dear Son, Two years have gone by without your beautiful smile, your laughter, your tender, caring ways. I miss you so, words cannot express. I hope you know how much we miss you and love you. Your family and friends remember you especially today and our hearts are aching because you're not here with us. We hope to see you again one day and be with your forever. God bless you.

Philip was a funny, handsome and extremely talented man. He was loving and non-judgemental. He was an awesome chef, a connoisseur of music, a nephew who melted his aunt's heart!

May the memory of our children, our relatives and our friends, who have passed, live on in our hearts, forever honored and memorialized. May the dreams they had and the lives they lived be remembered always, and may each heart and soul they touched, though forever changed, be healed.

My dear son, may you find peace now in God's heaven. I will light a candle for you to shadow all the darkness and bless the times we knew, like a beacon in the night the flame will burn bright and guide us on our way. Oh today I light a candle for you. Seasons come and go and I'm weary from the change Keep on moving on, you know it's not the same And when I'm walking all alone do you hear me call your name? Do you hear me sing the songs we use to sing? And I will light a candle for you... You filled my life with wonder, touched me with surprise, always saw that something special deep within your eyes, and through the good times and the bad, we carried on with pride, I hold on to the love and life we knew, And I will light a candle for you, oh today I light a candle for you. Until we meet again in Heaven, I will keep lighting a candle for you. I love you.
