  • Doris & Vernon Williams says:

    My sincere condolences and prayers go out to The Phillips family. I met Jeff while working at the same company years ago. That’s when I discovered that he was in love with a young lady that I’ve had the priviledge of watching grow up. I knew he was a good person by just his association. I grew to love Jeff like I love Tanya. He was a sweetheart and will be greatly missed. Tanya, keep your head up babygirl! God doesn’t make mistakes and He doesn’t put on you more than you can bear. Jeff is absent from this earth but he’s in the presents of God. I will keep all of you in my prayers.

    Sincerely,

    Doris

  • Tanya and boys,

He prayed for me without request and I for one will always be thankful. Take comfort that you have a true soldier of the lord watching over you always.
    Sincerly,
    Stella

    My sincere condolences and prayers go out to The Phillips family. I’ve been a friend of the family for many years through my mother who was good friends of Mrs. J. Tubbs. I met Jeff while going through chemo treatments at North Shore Univ. Hospital. He was very encouraging, down to earth and had a beautiful smile. I met his wife there as well, right by his side. My prayer is for the whole family, that God will give you strength, comfort and peace that passes all understanding.

Only God knows.. He will be all that you need him to be. Just get ready for a blessing because there is a blessing in everything he does. You may not see it now but it will come. Think of all the precious memories you have with Jeffrey and they will help tremendously. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
