what would've been my oldest son's 24th birthday


 PHILIP THOMAS
07-21-88 - 09-25-09

Love and miss you every single day.

Age 6 and showing his true personality ~

Such a handsome young man with beautiful blue eyes

    So sorry for your loss, Melanie. I love the idea of a memory shelf. It must have been hard putting it together, but everything is so special and has true meaning. A lovely way to honor your son. Best wishes and blessings, Tammy

    Seems like he grew up along with Time on CHL while we chatted away. Your memory shelf is a beautiful way to remember him. He is never farther than your own heart each day Melanie. Wish I could stop by and give you a big hug.

    Hugs from Holland ~

    Bless your heart. What an unfair thing. Your memory shelf is such a loving tribute.
