Its been 8 years since you passed, and I promise it still breaks my heart when I think of you being gone. Keep my baby company up there until I get there too.
Until we meet again my friend.

My heart is absolutely broken by this. You know no one will ever have the words to be able to describe the amount of pain that you not being here causes. I remember the last time I saw you which was at quiktrip you called me "bonita" and smiled that award winning smile of yours and that is the picture of you that will be in my mind for the rest of my life. To all the family I am so deeply sorry. There have been days where I have just asked god why? about a lot of things, especially this. Then i realized sometimes its okay to not understand, and we aren't meant to understand. God has a plan for everything and everyone. All we need to do is trust in him and everything will be okay, no matter how hard it is. I wish i could have talked to you phill one last time. I wish you could see now how much people LOVED and ADORED you. You will forever hold a special place in my heart forever. You took me in, and loved me when I felt very alone. But not only me but my baby, and that alone meant the world to me. I wish I would have known when the service was. Bobbie please get a hold of me. if ANY of you need anything PLEASE get a hold of me

Phill, I feel like Im just dreaming and I will open my eyes and you will be standing by my side, Im lost and I am hurt and I cry alot. This was so hard for me to take in and see but I know now that you are here with me, but I still wish that I could understand why or what this was all about I know I may never know but to know what was said. You was hurting inside too much to take and as always I was just a phone call away. I lost your brother first and now you too I will not ask for you to explain cause now you have no more pain nor will you ever have to worry but things are so blurry. I have tried to post once on here before but for some odd reason it would not store. Now Im back at it again and I want to thank you for being here for me the most when I needed it today and all night if it was not for you things would not be done but you touched my shoulder and said ma I gotcha. I felt ya and I heard ya and it ment so much I love you today just as much as I always have. I will be bringing you home here soon and we can have more talks I want you to know that I was so very proud of you and have always held you close, your a great father a blessing to have as my son and brother a good friend to all and that was lots we have saw. RIP my baby boy and we will be togather again.

A boy who shoved cake in my face but helped me ride a rocking horse on my first birthday. ate bomb pops til we got sick, had furthest swing jump competitions with me only after giving me a few underdogs and played board games and never complained when I wanted to tag along fishing. We drifted apart after childhood but when I got the news after work today, flashbacks of our summer's came flooding into my head. I wish for your soul to be at peace my friend. I'll treasure our memories even tho they seem ancient now. RIP Phil Rumbaugh. Next time I'm by the boat dock at oahe I'll dip my toes in, cast my pole out, and drink a beer down. And always remember your semi arrogant yet sweet self who gave me piggy back rides to the cabin bc I somehow always lost my shoes.

Phill I don't know what to say. You have been my brother since the day we was born. Every childhood picture I see is going to remind me that your gone. But it will also remind me how we were together. Man I love you so much and I'm sorry the last 4 years things were so rough between us. I never stopped loving you bro, I would have been there for you if you would have told me. No matter what I love you and i will see you again. You will always be my older brother.

Phill,
I don't know really where to start. I know I wasn't there for you for the first part of your life. I was however there for you from the time you were 10 and on. Over that time we had our ups and downs but really developed the kind of bond that a father and son should have. You helped me over the years and I helped you, the way it should have been from the start. I'm so blessed to have had a son like you. You grew up to be a very dear and close friend to me. For that I thank you! I'm really going to miss you saying" I love you pops". I feel like your passing is just a dream and I'll wake up to you still here. I'm love you so much and am going to miss you like crazy. I love you son and will see you again someday I'm sure. Love always
Dad
