First, the Nicholas Lee Phillips family would like to thank the Vange
John Memorial Hospice personnel for all their loving care. Th ey were
never more than 10 minutes away from our house when summoned.
Th eir professional care and concern helped us to accept the things we
could not change. Helped us prepare for the fi nal outcome with less pain
and more understanding. Th ank you again.
Second, I would like to send a special thank you to my daughter, by love,
Amanda Morris, for all her help. Without her, I just don't think I would
have been able to make it through the last week. When Hospice called to
set things up for Nick, I couldn't deal with the situation and they talked
to Amanda who handled everything. Amanda also did such an amazing
job putting together the DVD of Nick's life in pictures and songs. Th ese
tasks were completed from her love. Also, would like to thank Jason
Morris, J C and Aiden for the patience they had while Amanda was
spending so much time with us and not at home. Love you all.
Finally, to Linda Hall, our sister by love. Th ank you from the bottom of
my heart for always being there for us. You sat with Nick every day so I
could continue to work during the week. Your love is pure and straight
from the heart. I Love You Sis.
