Dear Tammy and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I know what it is like to be an only child and a Daddy's girl. There is nothing like it. I remember my Dad telling me to be strong for my Mom which I was and it did help. Please know that I am thinking of you and do not hesitate to ask anything. He is with our heavenly father.

Mrs. Cole and Family, I just want you to know my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I got to know Phillip when he came out to Reynolds High to work on our copiers. He was always joking about my old IBM typewriter, and was always willing to help me out even if he did not have a work order. His smiling face will be greatly missed by all of us.

Tammy and Family, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. I was on vacation last week and did not know that he had passed away until I came into work today. Your dad was a very special person. I will miss his smiling face coming in to our office to see you. Having a parent to pass away is one of the hardest things that a person will have to go through. You will think that there is no light at the end of the tunnel, but with God's help you and your family will make it through. Trust in God and remember that he loves you. If there is anything that I can ever do for you or your family, please let me know. Your friend and co-worker. Love in Christ, Shirley Parton

Breida & Tammy, I was so shocked to hear just this evening that Phillip had passed away. I am still in shock and it was late when I found out and did not want to call you. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and I know you both will miss him very much. You guys were the best neighbors anyone could have. I enjoyed living on Cedar Hill years ago and being your neighbors, having children at the same time and just enjoying life. Those were fun days. Phillip was a good man, husband, Dad and grandfather. I remember seeing you both in Penney's not to long ago & chatting with and saying we need to get together. I won't be able to come to the funeral, but know that I will be praying for you and your daughter & grandchild for God to comfort you and give you peace and strength to get through this. I will call you soon and maybe we can sit and talk or I can just listen if you need to talk. Love you and will always remember you being my neighbor and friend. In Christ's Love, Claudette(White) McNaughton

Dear Tammy, Breida and Chelsie: I can't begin to tell you how much my heart is hurting for you right now. Mr. Cole was one of the nicest people I had ever met. Tammy, you are my sister, my friend and a part of my soul. Remmber that I will always be here for you when you need me, no matter what time of day or night. We're joined not only at the hip but at the heart. I know you will miss your daddy terribly, but you have to remember how much he loved you and hang on to that. He's not gone, he's just waiting on the rest of you to catch up with him! Take care of your mom and Chelsie, and remember that Randy and I are here for you. You are a part of our family as well, and you will never be alone. We love you and your room is always ready at our house. I know how much you loved your dad, and so did he. You've just aquired another guardian angel. We love you. Tammy and Randy Fox
