My heart aches for all those who loved Phillip, he was definitely taken too soon. It seems like yesterday he would disappear and walk to Grandma Gomez's just to return with a bag of tamales over his little shoulder. RIP Phillip.....and please know your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Prayers go out to the family and friends. Phillip was always smiling no matter what was going on. I will always remember him this way and always remember to smile no matter what is going on because that is what my son would have wanted.

My precious baby cuz! You were always in my heart and prayers and will continue to be every day. You were taken away from this earth but my soul can rest knowing that you are finally home now. You deserved so much more than what you were given. It still hasn't hit me yet......my baby cousin is gone. My heart and mind are flooded with memories of you when you were little. @AmyKillen, we all had some good summer's together didn't we!
The monster that took you away from so many people will never take away the memories that are within my heart!!! I love you so much.......may your rest in gods arms and find the light in everything!
With all My Love,
Your Favorite Aunt Lindsey

Phillip, My dear friend may you rest in peace and grace us from heaven with that smile and laugh that would lighten a room. God watch over this family, send them your strength and welcome your son with open gates. Thank you for everything Phillip. I regret not coming around more like you asked, and regret not being able to say good bye. I'll make it up to you when we meet again. Until then much love brother.
