To our friends - The Grosse Family,
We are so sorry to hear of Philips death. He is in our mind and hearts with prayers.
We remember the 'good old days' on Wheeler Rd and the fun times we had sledding,
searching in the corn field, walking to Sanderson School and numerous fun times together
as youngsters. Although we have not seen Philip for many years, we are deeply saddened.
May you find peace in your many memories and love for Philip.
Please let us know if there is anything we can do.
With Sincere Love,
Dale and Judy Braund, Andy and Kristi Attwood,Roger and Marcia Moyes, Mary,Rita, Shirley, Jim, Bob and Charlene Moyes.
Accept that your loss will offer you a new understanding. Accept God’s leadership and live in the palm of His hand. Accept His peace and comfort and be an instrument of His will.
Life is a gift from God. Our children, family, friends, neighbors, and strangers are all gifts to be savored. Although some days may be full of hardship and sadness, each breath, heartbeat, and thought illustrates the beautiful gift of life. When a loved one is lost, try to avoid the feeling of being robbed or wronged. Keep the positive memories alive and thank God for the blessings in your past, present, and future..
