And I didn’t even know the saint.

I just wanted to share with you all how much he loved his family– both blood and church. I hope you know that you meant as much to him, as he meant to you.
I will miss him, but I am at peace. He was right beside me when my grandmother (his oldest sister) passed away 2 1/2 yrs ago. Since then, he told me numerous times “Dont shed tears over me when im gone. Ill be in Heaven- dancing and celebrating.” I know that is what he is doing today!

While it is hard to know he isnt here with us, he opened the door for me to the “peace that passes all understanding” that only our God can provide. I hope you all have that same peace.

Thank you for all have and will do:
Love,
Jen, Blake, Chloe

It was such a special time for all of us that had the privilege of knowing him. He will be greatly missed!!!!!!

He had an impact on my entire family. He made you feel like the most important thing in the world when you talked to him. We need to follow his lead and encourage and love everyone unconditionally. My life is better to have known such a great man. “Go Jackets”

I too was so blessed by Phil Purser! Yesterday, what his boss shared, really opened my eyes, then when we were challenged to step it up through Phil’s life by your Dad, caught me really thinking about how I could do that. Wonderment of how God works! How good God is to use this friend of ours to encourage us to move forward to influence others with the message that your Dad has been sharing with us, about being intentional! Wow, Phil truly was that example! Such a loving servant of God’s!

Alex picked it up for “free” at Walmart for Julie for their 4th dating anniversary…oh, to be in love again. The funny thing was watching them give her the first bath. They are no where near ready to be parents! Thank God,… poor puppy .LOL! We ate pizza in teh dark but one thing that was different from my childhood during power outage was that all of us were online and on facebook on our cell phones…kids these days don’t have a clue! LOL! Wish I had meet Phil more than once but if he was with Judy, he had to be wonderful!
