Philip - seems just yesterday you and the other TSA kids were 6 years old and now it's 3 years since you've been gone. Alex and I talk of TSA days often and you are always a part of the conversation. You will never be forgotten Philip. Hugs & Love to your family.

Michael and I have been remembering fondly the days we carpooled to Thomas Sumter with Bess and Phillip . Michael would ask Philip every am if he had a present for him and Philip would always reply with that grin of his , "Not today , Mr. Clarke!" One day , Philip greeted him with "Today's the day, Mr. Clarke!" And gave him a gift . We both don't remember the gift itself but we do remember how attached we felt to Philip and Bess and Carolyn . All our love and prayers for God's healing Grace, Jane and Michael Clarke

It seems like just yesterday that Philip was at TSA playing soccer and basketball with Alex, Josh and the rest. Even though Philip left for TN in high school, those memories of the boys growing up laughing, learning and playing at TSA will always remain. You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult of times. There are really no words. God Bless...
