This memorial has been created to spread around the wonderful memories of Randy Phillips. My dad was one of the most humble, comedic, kind, lovable men out there. He was always making everyone laugh in times of need. I honestly can say that there are not many men out there like him, and I am so fortunate to have him as my dad. He was very religious, and loved the Lord with all his heart. Sadly on July 29th 2008, his life here on Earth ended. A few years before his passing, he had went in for a surgery, but little did we know that when he came out, he would have a massive staph infection in his leg that would cause his organs to start shutting down. It is a very disturbing thing to see someone you love so much break down right in front of your eyes. I had taken almost 2 years out of school to stay at home with him and take care of him. You really don't think you did enough in the end, but I know I will never regret that decision I made. Seeing someone you love so much take their last breath is so hard, but he definitely put up a good fight for 3 years. He is in a much better place with Jesus, and he gets to walk on the beautiful streets of Heaven. I know he is making everyone smile and laugh in Heaven, because that is just the type of person he was. I loved seeing his smile, and I know that's exactly what he and others are doing in Heaven--smiling! :) I will get to see and walk hand-in-hand with him in Heaven one day. We love and miss you daddy! You will always be with us.
My dad suffered from Diabetes for 18 years, and he passed away from kidney failure. These diseases, as well as others are very scary to deal with. I will add a link on this page for the National Kidney Foundation and National Diabetes Association. If you have anything that would help--that would be GREATLY appreciated by our family & others! Even if it is just 1 penny to 1 dollar--everything helps! It was the worst thing in the world seeing my dad suffer from these horrifying diseases, and together we can help prevent them! Thank you & God Bless :)

A LETTER FROM HEAVEN
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 am 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 so badly, you are part of my plan.
There is so much that we can 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.
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 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 is 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 was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.'
So if you meet somebody who is sad and low;
Just lend a hand to pick them 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 be with me
