In Loving Memory Of Phil King

May the Lord Jesus Christ be with you Phil and may he always bestow Peace, Comfort and Closure to your loving family.

To my dearest family,  some things I'd like to say... but first of all, to let you know,  that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from heaven.  Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness;  here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just  because I'm out of sight. Remember that I'm with you  every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you  when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again;  you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family,  they'll be here later on. I need you here badly;  you're part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do,  to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things,  that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list,  was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night,  the day's chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you.... in the middle of the night. 

When you think of my life on earth,  and all those loving years because you are only human,  they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry;  it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers,  unless there was some rain. 

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned. But if I were to tell you,  you wouldn't understand. But one thing is for certain,  though my life on earth is over. I'm closer to you now,  than I ever was before. There are many rocky roads ahead of you  and many hills to climb; but together we can do it  by taking one day at a time. 

It was always my philosophy  and I'd like it for you too... that as you give unto the world,  the world will give to you. If you can help somebody  who's in sorrow and pain, then you can say to God at night...... "My day was not in vain." And now I am contented.... that my life has been worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the way,  I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody  who is sad and feeling low, just lend a hand to pick him up,  as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street,  and you've got me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps  only half a step behind. And when it's time for you to go....  from that body to be free, remember you're not going..... you're coming here to me.

I looked towards the clouds today and for a moment saw your face And wondered just where you have gone, with a hope it's a better place. Did you show yourself to me today, to tell me you're alright? Or was it just a daydream, playing tricks upon my sight. Then I thought of when you left, you did not say a word, No hugs and kisses.. no good-bye was heard. You have changed our lives forever, Your time here not in vain and hope you know we always tried, to keep you safe from pain. We will always feel the void inside, because you are not here But each new thought you send our way, let's us know you're always near So until our journey nears it's end, And we hear the angels sing We'll face each new day as it comes, and live off the love you bring.

        I would just like to say ... I believe that our time here on earth gives us the opportunity to grow spiritually.  We can experience much personal growth because of all the suffering, worries, and difficulties we have to go through during our mortal lives.  It is God's way of perfecting us so we become more compassionate, more caring, more loving, and more aware of others' pain.  After all, how could we ever dry the tears of others if we had never cried ourselves?

On behalf of Scooby, the Anonymous Guys and myself, the memory of  Phil will always be in our hearts.  He will be missed  very much and he will never be forgotten..  Rissa
