12 years.... It truly never gets easier. I've just learned to live without you.
So much has changed.... I can't help but think of how things would be like if u were still here. Funny, friends of ours are now friends with my kids, n grandkids are friends with their kids.
Things sure haven't been easy, especially lately, but I am quite sure you watch over me. I feel it in my heart.
I will always carry you with me, Michael. Love you always my angel

Mike 11 years is hard to even think about it. You never got to know Zack or Jolene and I know they would have adored you. I moved back home to be able to get more time with you and our time was cut to short And the fact your son has a child of his own is just crazy. I hope your are doing well up their and watching us all. I love you so much and will never forget you.

Well Mike, another year has gone by and you wouldn't believe how much things have changed in the last 11 years. Not exactly for the better either. Instead of wishing you were here I would rather be with you. I know that every one misses you here as do I and I wish we could be together again but that day will come. I Love You and Miss You so much Mike. Continue to rest in peace. Give mom and the rest of our family there hugs for me. Know that you are all in my thoughts. Forever missed my brother....

Michael, my dear brother, it’s been 10 years. I don’t believe it has been 10 long years since you’ve been gone. Lois passed last week so you and her will be able to do your bantering back and forth like you used to. Funny thing is my Michael likes to do that with me now and it’s not always that funny. I miss you so very much Mike. Wish I could give you a big hug right now. Love you forever!!

10 years ....... WoW

It is hard to believe that you have been gone that long. You are loved and missed buy so many down here Uncle Mike. You never got to meet you Nephew Zackery who reminds me so much of you and Your Niece Jolene would have adored you. So Many moments that I could have just picked up the phone and called you to talk. Wish that we could have gotten to spend more time together cause you where more than an Uncle to me you where one of my greatest friends.

I will never forget you and always love you more than words can say tell we meet again.

I Love You

9 years Michael, it's hard to believe that you have been gone that long. I miss you, wish we could talk. Wish you could see your grandbabies. Wish you could see how Michael has grown, he was just tiny when you left us and now he's almost as tall as I am, know you'd be saying, "well, that's not hard being taller than me". I Love You little brother and this music in the background is making me cry. Be at peace I'll see you again one day.

Michael it is so hard to believe that you have been gone for 8 years already. Where has the time gone little brother? I miss you every day. Sometimes think you would like to raise heck because of some stupid things I have done but maybe not. We could certainly sit back and laugh about things afterwards. Wish you could be here to see your granddaughter. From her pictures she looks like a pretty little thing. I Love You Mike!! Happy Birthday in Heaven!!!

Michael Todd Phillips I miss you so much. As you know I don’t like beer much but would give anything to be able to kick back pop one open and talk to you. There is so much that’s happened since you’ve passed. I’d love to be able to talk to you about it. There are things I’d love to share with you, things I would love for you to see. I hope you’re having a Happy Birthday with mom, grandma and grandpa. I Love You little brother!!

These days are still rough... Life goes on I guess, but don't stop me from thinking... Still to many unanswered questions, don't know that I will ever have closure. But I guess that's not that point. Today's your birthday, and I want you to know I am honored to celebrate your birthday, and blessed to say I was apart of your life. My heart will always hold a place for you. Happy Birthday Michael!

Oh Michael, it's the 42nd anniversary of your birth. HAPPY BIRTHDAY little brother. I miss you, wish I could talk to you, see you, hug you. You'd enjoy our bonfires and think you would have fun throwing back some beers with Larry. I miss you so much little brother.

Hello Mike. I sure wish that you were here right now. I sure could use some back up, some added strength and support. Please send me some strength I need you, mom, grandma and grandpa to be with me and to give me strength cause I've been hit with a lot in the last 24 hours. I wish you were here in person, that you could see Michael grow up, so you could have time to spend with Chase and all of those who love you that you've left behind. It's almost time for another birthday and it's so hard to believe you've been gone 5 years. I Love and Miss You so very much!

Happy Birthday little brother. It's hard to believe how fast the time has flown by. I Love and Miss You so much! I wish you could see little Michael grow up considering he was named after you. Wish you could see Charleigh and Christy's children grow up, along with Chase. You wouldn't believe how much your son has grown and how much of a smart young man he's becoming. You would be so proud of him. I know how much you loved him and I'm sure you're still watching over him. I LOVE YOU!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!

Been a crazy emotional week! 3 years you have been gone. Some days it seems an eternity, others seem like yesterday, it hurts so much. Living without you has taught me a lot. I appreciate the little things more, and have found a strength I never knew I had.Trying to move on in life has been rough. I know I will never find another love like yours, nobody will ever be able to fill your shoes! Lol! The good times and the bad, I cherish them all. I feel your presence in times of need and sometimes at the most random times ( So You! ) Warms my heart to know you are still with me! Someday we will be reunited. You Michael Todd Phillips are my soulmate! So until that day comes, please continue to give me guidance, and watch over us all, and of course keep your presence know! I love it! Forever you are in my heart! I love you baby!! <3 <3 <3

Mike, it's been 3 years. It's still unbelievable that you are gone. It hurts my soul that Cheryl and I still haven't been able to get the answers that we have searched for. Maybe there's no right answer. Will it make a difference? No, you're still gone and nothing can bring you back. I miss you little brother. Talking to you doesn't feel the same when I can't look forward to a smart alec comment back. Say hi to mom and grandma and grandpa for me okay. I LOVE YOU! You're gone but not forgotten.

It's your birthday again Mike. Hard to believe it's another one without you. Your namesake (nephew) is living with me right now and he acts goofy like you sometimes. I know you enjoyed spending time with him the few times you were able to. I miss you so very much little brother and have caught myself calling Michael Mikey Doo like I used to call you. Lol. Cheryl still misses you so very much and finds moving on very difficult she still feels your spirit with her and says crazy stuff happens showing her you are still there with her in spirit. You know there are still so many in answered questions regarding what really happened and unless something drastic happens I don't think Cheryl and I will ever get those questions answered. We love you little brother. Happy Birthday!!!!

Michael, it's been 2 years since you passed. I miss you so much. I wish we had more time together, wish you had more time to spend with Amanda, she is struggling. She misses you and Cheryl misses you. It makes me angry to still not have the whole truth about your death - mostly lies. One day I hope we will know exactly what happened. I Love and Miss you Michael!

Happy Birthday little brother. Well, this is the second birthday you've gotten to spend with mom and grandma and grandpa. You know I think about you guys all the time and I really wish I hadn't moved to Georgia after finishing school at Northern because when we moved back you and I weren't able to spend much time together and I've missed the close relationship we had. I Love and Miss U!

Michael, my dear brother. You are truly missed by so many people. It's sad to lose you at such a young age but yet you have gotten me to get myself and my headaches checked out and they found I have a brain aneurysm and the start of another. I am going to Detroit to have them surgically removed. Thank you for that. Because of you I will be here for my kids for a bit longer. LOVE YOU!

Backyard Football

February 28, 2012

We used to all get together in the neighborhood to play baseball or football in The Luke's Backyard. Well we were all playing football and Mike got the football, I grabbed awhole of his shirt and spun him around and threw him down on the ground. Right away Mike started holding his arm and crying that he broke his arm, of coarse all us other kids were like suck it up yo whimp. Needless to say the next day Mike came out to play with a cast on his arm, telling me he had to convince his parents that it was a accident (being me and him were well known to fight).  In all the fights we had over the years Mike still was like a little brother to me. Just sad how we lost contact over the years. Thanks for the good childhood memories,you will never be forgotten. 

One Funny Christmas

February 8, 2012

This was a Christmas when Michael was living with Amanda and I at Forewood Apartments.  Mike wanted to make sure we had a real Christmas tree so he told me he was going to go cut one down.  He came back to the apartment and told me to look outside.  The darn tree was so big we had to use a rope and hoist it onto the balcony and in the sliding door.  I asked him where he got such a big bloody tree.  He said he climbed a tree and cut the top off.  That was the biggest tree that we ever had and we had a lot of laughs trying to get it in the house.
