My deepest sympathy to Chris and all the Reade family. I met Phil when he went with Chris to help with AR Baptist Disaster Relief efforts several years ago. He was a hard worker and never complained about any task he was asked to complete. My prayers will be with you during this time of sadness.

My condolences to the Reade family. May it help you to know that it was not in God's plan for our loved ones to die but as Ecclesiastes 9:11 says: Because unexpected events overtake them all. But because of God's love and knowing the pain that death brings to families, he will soon get rid of death as well as bring our loved ones back to life. Please find some comfort from these facts in your time of need.

Cathy, I have known Phil all my life and knew his parents and grandparents. I thought a lot of all his family. Most of all, I remember when all the family went to church at South Mountain Freewill Baptist Church, and the night Phil got saved. I'm sure he is in a better place. I pray God will give you comfort and peace at this difficult time. May God watch over you and all the family.
