Hi dad, Lolo, ciara and I are riding through st Augustine headed home. I was thinking about you. I would love to live here. It’s my favorite place. I miss you dad. Love you forever xoxo
Hi daddy, I am sorry I didn’t post yesterday. I looked at the site and just couldn’t. I was in Ft Lauderdale yesterday and it was a beautiful day. The sun the warmth the music that all day provided happy memories and flashbacks of happy times. I miss you daddy. I love you so much.
Happy late birthday dad. I thought about you days before and after I just for whatever reason didn’t want to pull up the site. I am sorry. I love you and I miss you. So much. Love, Tonya
Merry Christmas dad. It has been hectic as always. I promise I have learned to slow down and enjoy life starting now. I will have a week of practice by New Years lol. I miss you dad. So very much. I just miss you. I love you. ❤️ xoxoxo
Hi dad, it’s Friday night December 8th and you have been heavy on my mind lately. I miss you so much. I wanted to say thank you for all the years you took us looking at Christmas lights. It’s still my favorite thing to do. I miss you daddy. So much. I love you with all of my being. I really miss you dad.
Happy Halloween daddy. Mom, chris, fran, lexi and christopher will be over tonight for trick or treating. I just this week had the picture of you and aunt shirley pop up on my facebook. It's the one where you and mom were hosting a halloween party and you were a vampire about to bite! I love you all the way to the Heavens daddy. Sending hugs, such big hugs. xoxo Tonya
Realizing my last note was more of a cry than a happy moment or note I figured I should leave some positivity. I been dealing with a lot of medical stuff that has me down lately and Victoria being the strong willed hard headed acting like her mother child she is has been keeping me pretty busy and worried a lot lol. However I went to Hawaii this month and it was beautiful. So relaxing and much needed for a break. I loved every minute and can’t wait to hopefully go back and see more of the islands. I also have a trip coming up in a few weeks to go stay with Tonya and Jeff (gosh they are amazing for my soul, he completes her so well in life for a partner) I can’t wait to see them. This is also the first thanksgiving I get to spend with the family in years so I am super grateful for that as well. I’m turning more and more to my faith the crazier this world gets. I take great comfort in knowing you stayed a man of faith even in your darkest moments. I know I will see you again. I miss you dad, that feeling never goes away.
Hi daddy. It’s Monday morning. The day started with all 3 Phillips on my mind. I love and miss you. I wish you were here. I found a really good small church I like and they sing so much. It’s a perfect fit. I want just one more day on the water with you. Fishing or just in the boat. Waterskiing or tubing. Being back home just isn’t quite the same. Xoxo I miss you dad. With my whole heart.
Good evening dad. It’s Sunday evening. Last Saturday jeff and I got married in st Augustine. Can you believe it. My very favorite city. Frannie got me a charm with your picture in it. It was wrapped around my bouquet. That way you were still able to walk down the aisle with me. I love you daddy. I miss you so much. Xoxo
Hi dad, it’s been 7 years ago today. I have had about an hour to process that you have gone and to lay with you on that day 7 years ago. I climbed in your bed and put your arm around me and laid next to you until Chris and Frannie came up. Mom sat in the room with me. I laid there and took in every minute I had with you before they took you away. I don’t remember thinking anything at all just feeling your still warm arm holding me. I miss you and I don’t understand even though it just doesn’t matter if I understand or not. You’re fine and I miss you. I love you dad.
Happy Birthday dad. I love you and miss you terribly. I am getting married this year. March 18th to be exact. I so wish you were here. I miss you. Happy Birthday again.
Merry Christmas Dad. Holidays are not any easier. Time doesn’t heal that. I love you and I miss you. Our family needs you dad. I need you dad. I love you
Hi daddy, I am missing you terribly today. Sitting on the lani and wishing you were sitting here with me so I can talk about my day. I miss you dad. I don’t have words for what I feel today. I love you.
It's been six years and I still miss you terribly. I thank God I still have our home videos. It takes me back to yesteryear. There we all are. I miss our family together under one roof so much. I see you in everyone of our kids and even in the grandchildren lol. We have 23 of them now. I love you .
Today is your 6th Heavenly Anniversary. I miss you so very much. I will never forget sitting on your bed, having conversation about God and the Bible then you looked at me with a tear in your eye and said” I do not fear going to heaven wen my time comes, I look forward to it, the only sadness I have is not wanting to leave my kids. I love you dad. I miss you. Xoxoxo

Condolences to the family, Dan and I really enjoyed meeting such wonderful man that was so devoted to his family.RIP Tina and Dan Bowman Dunnellon Florida
I remember his cool dark blue GTO. When I would spend the weekends at the house with Tonya, he would take us for a ride on Friday nights in it and we would go to Garden of Tiki. He would always drive down Atlantic Blvd to 3rd Street at the beach and then back up Beach Blvd. I remember those drives and all the fun times like it was yesterday. Thanks for the memories Uncle Phillip. The Bennett Family has gained one amazing guardian angel. Until we see you again... <3

Happy New Year and Happy Birthday Daddy!! I love and miss you so much. So much has been going on and I really need to talk to you! The Flu has been going around bad here and I have surgery in a week so I hope I can dodge it a little longer. I hope Heaven is as beautiful as I read I love you Daddy Happy Birthday!!!
Merry Christmas Daddy, your birthday is in just a couple of days. I miss you so much. My heart hurts as much today as it did the day I lost you! To catch you up to speed my life has changed greatly. I hope you can see me and how much better of a place I am in as to where I was when you were here. I don’t think there will ever be anything to fill the void I feel of not having to here with me. I love you so much.
