Life is not a journey to the grave
with the intention of arriving safely,
in a pretty well preserved body,
with pockets full of money.
But rather to skid in sideways,
totally used up, totally worn out,
totally spent, loudly screaming.....…
WOW, what a ride

ReplyDeleteRIP
Thinking of Hilary, Sherri, Gemma and their friends and family xxx
You've said it for many of us who are lost for words Elise. I agree with the last statement and Phil would have loved that; "skidding in sideways"!
ReplyDeleteI'll be leaving soon to say 'Farewell Phil'.
ReplyDeleteNo tears, no regrets. Phil would not have like that at all.
I know there will be many smiles and and even loud laughter this morning and then later in the Ship Inn.
He'll be there among us, as large as life.
I'll always remember that just a few short months ago, he was 'tickled PINK!' with our latest Mr Brighton Marina spoof.
He liked it, in fact he 'liked it a lot! lol
In tribute to the most fun-loving guy we've known, here it is for the last time:
On behalf of Hilary, Sherri and Gemma, I pass on their sincere thanks for the incredible support you've all given them durung this last very difficult month.
George
lots of love to you George x
ReplyDeleteThinking of Hilary , family and friends of Phil today as they bid him a final farewell. He is sorely missed.
ReplyDeleteSheena and Graeme xx
Well, I am bound to be one of the the first lads (and girls) to arrive home from the funeral.
ReplyDeleteRepresenting our site at the ceremony were Mike, Roger & Brenda, Chris & Shirley, and Lynn and myself.
It was a beautiful farewell service and a marvellous few hours in the pub afterwards, featuring a big screen on which was played a DVD of photographs put together by Sherry.
SPECTACULAR! Phil was real 'Sun God', lol.
I was right, there were many laughs, as befits the great joker he was.
Hilary and the girls have passed on to me their love and thanks to give to everyone here.
They really did appreciate all your kindness and support
All in all, the best send off he could have wished for, including his favourite music...Albatross, Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay, and Sailing.
A marvellous, sad, but happy occassion.
Au revoir Phil.
We'll be seeing ya!
Thanks George xx I have been thinking of everyone all day......so pleased it was what Big Guy would have liked xx Love to Hilary, Sherri and Gemma as always. I am always here xx
ReplyDeleteThanks from me too... George....Glad there was laughter,as Phil made us laugh each day too.....Just know he will be making laughter up there for sure.......
ReplyDeleteLoved your bit Elise...xx....& George your 'Bridge over troubled waters' moved me.... thankyou...
Just an aside.....On my way to pick up Val before my travels over to Brighton for R.T....i got stuck behind a hearse,& thought that was truely ironic being nearly 11:30.as well......
THANKS GEORGE, A WONDERFUL CHOICE OF MUSIC.
ReplyDeleteThis old git will have to pay more attention to wots gone before..............
