My condolences are with you at this time in the passing of your son Philip. Was very sorry to hear of the sad news. Sincerely, ShelleyRoth, retired letter carrier from the Hollywood Hills Station, 3302l.

I am very sorry. Let me know if you need anything. DK

Words can not express our deepest sympathies to you and your family on the loss of your son. Our prayers are with you.

Uncle Phil, Aunt Cathy and Nicole,

Again, words cannot express how sad and unfortuante this tragedy is. Phil was full of life and had so many loving friends and family. He was a great person and the outpouring of support, sympathy and love is a testiment of how he lived his life and the effect he had on the people that surrounded him. Although we weren’t very close, due to the fact we do not live near each other, your family always held a special place in my heart. While growing up we did spend a lot of time together as we would visit Florida more regularly, but through time, the visits lessened. This does not take away the memories and fellings I have towards you guys. I love you guys and will always be there for you. Hopefully we can get an opportunity to see each other soon. Lil Phil….see you someday, just know that if we lived close by, I can guarantee with much certainty, we would hang out often as you seemed to be such an amazingly, fun, inspiring and great friend, person, son, counsin, nephew, grandson, brother, uncle, etc. Until we meet again. love you.

Albert Jr.

I hope that the memories you have of Phil will live in your hearts in the day to come as you mourn his passing…You are in my thoughts and prayers. With love, Cousin Patti Anita’s daughter

In a million years I never thought I would be doing this for you. Your leaving has left an emptiness in my heart that will never be filled. I was so very lucky to have a son like you. We shared so many great times together which I will cherish for the rest of my life. I now know how long it takes to create perfection, 24 years. I love and miss you forever. Pops.

Gone from our sight, but never our memories. Gone from our touch, but never our hearts. His smile will always shine within us and from above.

Love you always, Jake, Debby, Ginny & Becky Gomis

Mr & Mrs Geraci,

I am so sorry and sad to hear of your loss. I remember growing up with Phil in elementary and even got lucky enough to have him in some of my classes in high school too. He was a great person since kindergarten and my heart goes out to you and your family at this hard time.

Dear Cathy and Phil, My heart reaches out to you in this time of loss and sadness. May your son’s life and love be with you always.

Love, Doug and Michelle Snavely

We are so sorry for your loss. Words cannot express enough the sorrow at the loss of a child. Phil in the short time I have had the pleasure to work with you, one thing I have learned is your devotion to your family, and your love for your son. I know this from stories you have told, it is how I have learned who you are and I can’t imagine the grief you feel. I hope you find peace in the memories you have. Again, my condolences to you and your family. I am so sorry.

Michael and Angie Winters

Dear Cathy and Phil,

Alex and Ivet Alonso

Phil & Cathy

My prayers & thoughts go out to you & your family. May God give you strength at this difficult time.

Cathy, Phil and Family,

There are no words, only wonderful memories of watching Philip grow up. He was the quiet boy with the sweet face and became the teenager who became confident and strong. You both are awesome parents who gave him a great but ever so short life. Our deepest sympathies are with you always.

Cheryl, Rob and Alex Knieriem

Phil and Cathy,

I have a broken heart for you. You two were given a great gift, a gift that many have never experienced. Your memories of Phillip will keep his legacy alive. I will continue to pray for your peace as it will be needed for years to come when all the people go home with their own issues. Please, remember that you must climb out of the valley to the other side and not stay in that dark place, for Phillip would want that so much. You are great parents and wonderful individuals…never forget that. Peace will be hard to reach but it can happen if you believe it will. I love you two and will continue to keep you near my heart forever.

Dear Cathy and Phil: No words can express our sorrow and pain for your loss. We hold great memories of the boys and our vacations together. We will remember his sweetness and smile. He was such a good boy. Please know that our thoughts and prayers go out to you now. Love and prayers,

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel for you and your family. We are here to help, support, and do whatever you need done, with thoughts of peace and courage for you and your family.

Love Always,

Ron, Michelle & Sam

To the Geraci family. We will continue to keep your family in our prayers. You have our deepest condolences.

Words alone could never express just how sad I am for your loss. Three or four times a week, Chris or Paul would play a recording of Philip over the PA system from a picture cube you had on your desk. I even remember what he said, “Happy Birthday Daddy……I love you very much” I remember one time I was watching you as it played out over the PA. When it finished, you had a proud Dad look on your face. Things like that leave a lasting impression on those that view them, and it says a lot about a family man, like you.

Parents should never have to say goodbye to their children, the natural progression is children saying goodbye to their parents. When I lost my Mom in 2009, the only person that called me from work was you. Then, 9 months later when I had to say goodbye to my Dad, you again called me. That meant more to me than I can ever express.

When I hurt my neck in a car crash in hollywood, I met your Mom, who brought me a towel and cold drink of water, and I was astounded by her genuine concern for someone she did not even know.

While I wish there were some magic words to make all of the pain go away, there aren’t. But there are words that will make tears from memories turn to smiles as time goes by. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May the Lord comfort you at this difficult time, and assure you that He as welcomed Philip into His loving embrace.

Phil & Cathy,

Our hearts are heavy with sadness. Our prayers are with you and the angel that is now in heaven.

Sincere sympathy from Jim & Alba

To Cathy & Phil,

I wish that I could do something to ease your pain. I will strive to raise my son with the same love and care that you gave Phil, Jr. May your memories of this extraordinary young man bring you comfort. With our most heartfelt condolences, Ben & Simon Lifland
