Phillip, who was affectionately named Petey, was an independent and bright young man that made his presence felt ---he touched us all with his mischievous grin and his playful manner. His smile was infectious and his staff and Team members quickly became his friends. The adversity Petey faced in his life was met with courage and his irrepressible spirit --- and throughout his journey, the love he shared with family and others was earnest, dear and strong. We are blessed to carry Petey's spirit in our hearts.
The family would like to thank the residents and staff of the B Road group home and HopeWest Hospice for their friendship, respect and care for Petey.
