Dr. Phillips and Family,
My condolences on the passing of your sweet father. I met him when visiting my stepfather at Briarwood, several years ago. He was so full of life and had us laughing. I know he will be missed!

We were friends from first meeting Charles and his wife Charlene at Fellowship Bible Church in 1994. Devoted couple
and loved the Lord. They are together again in Heaven above
and we will all meet again in glory! May they both Rest In Peace.
