To all my friends. Thank you so much for all your ongoing support. Things have been difficult lately
but I intend to come back soon. God bless you all.
****************************************************
Philip at the age of 40 passed away suddenly and tragically on Monday 26th May 2008.
The cause of Philips death has not yet been established but there will be no stone left unturned to
find out the truth about what really happened the night he died.



.♥.·°. °·.♥.·°.°·.♥. ..°

Philip was a fun loving character with a brilliant personality who always liked a good laugh and the
odd practical joke or ten - maybe twenty!
Phil liked any type of music from Pink Floyd to classical- although you'd have been hard pushed for
him to admit that!
Philip loved music quizzes, especially those from the 1980's. He was also fond of chess and enjoyed
playing cards with Alison's son Tommy whom he formed a special bond with.
Football? Well Philip didn't have much taste as he supported Bolton Wanderers! I guess somebody had
to!
He was quite a sport freak and would always be glued to the TV with any sport, in particular boxing
with Bolton lad Amir Khan being one of his favourites.
Philip's cheeky grin and humour lit up any room and one of his favourite comediennes was Katherine
Tate. He loved Max and Paddy along with Little Britain.
Phil sang alot, in fact he'd think nothing of bursting in to song in the middle of the supermarket!
Oh, and not forgetting the air guitar!!!!! Aha!
His best friend and rock was Alison. In a special little memorial box, Alison has kept the hundreds
of beautiful cards and letters Philip sent her over the years.

.♥.·°. °·.♥.·°.°·.♥. ..°

A few days after Philips death, Walk The Line was established in Philips memory. Walk The Line is an
international resource for children and adults alike who have experienced separation from their
parents and loved ones.
Philip often talked about helping others who had walked in his shoes. He always commented on the
lack of help, support and resources for people like himself who had been institutionalised over the
years and battled with substance misuse problems namely heroin.
What always touched Phils heart was the homeless issue and he often mentioned this particular
subject with sadness.

A special humour publication in Philips memory is to be released at Christmas and it is one that
Phil would highly approve of to say the least!

´*•.¸(*•.¸♥ ¸.•*´)¸.•*´

In particular, Alison would like to thank Rosemary Russell (Marie) for reading a lovely tribute at
Overdale Crematorium. Special thanks also goes to Rob Levett and the kind messages of condolence
from friends, professionals, charities and legal representitives.
A personal thank you goes to Inside Time for their publication of Living WIth A Product Of The
System - One of Philips favourite all time articles written by Alison Henderson herself.


THANK YOU TO LYNN DUXFIELD ( CHARMAINE DUXFIELDS MUM) FOR HER HELP.


PHILIP ´*•.¸(*•.¸♥ ¸.•*´)¸.•*´

You always had a cheeky smile
And always laughed a lot,
I can’t believe you’ve left us
But you'll never be forgot.
You'd always burst in to a song
No matter where you were!
In shops or in the shopping mall
You really didn't care!
Snooker, chess and 80's pop
Trips down to the gym!
Always asking if your legs...
Were constantly too thin!
You loved your funny programmes
Especially Katherine Tate,
And always burst out laughing at
The Trisha Show debate!
We shared some really special times
Some rough ones also too,
But one thing is for certain Phil
I will never forget you. ♥

Alison Henderson 2008

´*•.¸(*•.¸♥ ¸.•*´)¸.•*´

Youve got a way to keep me on your side.
You give me cause for love that I cant hide.
For you, I know Id even try to turn the tide.
Because youre mine,
I walk the line.

´*•.¸(*•.¸♥ ¸.•*´)¸.•*´

Philip you are sorely missed by Alison,Stephen, Tommy, Joe, little Keah, Rob and Marie and all those
who had the pleasure of knowing you. God Bless ♥

´*•.¸(*•.¸♥ ¸.•*´)¸.•*´


THANK YOU TO ALL MY GTS FRIENDS WHO HAVE MADE PHILIPS MEMORIAL VERY SPECIAL.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL. ♥♥♥

GOOD MORNING BEAUTIFUL ANGEL. XxX

~ There Is A Place ~

♥****♥****♥****♥****♥****♥

There is a place high up above
Where Angels dwell, so full of love;
Soft music plays and rainbows fair
Swirl round the mansion God prepared.
There is much laughter, joyous glee
In this great place we all shall be.
And in the glorious days to come,
The Angels greet their loved ones home,
They wrap their wings around so tight,
And guide them up into the light.
This paradise waits for all who pray,
For those that believe in God, come what may,
For death is no more in His Heaven above,
Just happiness dwelling in sweet Angel's love.

Tributes For Week Starting 16th November


FOR MONDAY

Sadly missed along life's way,
Quietly remembered every day,
No longer in our life to share,
But in our hearts you’re always there.

FOR TUESDAY

I sit and wonder every day,
Why the Lord chose to call you away,
I think He saw you needed rest,
He only takes the very best.

FOR WEDNESDAY

Everyday in some small way,
Memories of you come our way,
Though absent, you are always near,
Still missed, loved, always dear.

FOR THURSDAY

Resting where no shadows fall,
In peaceful sleep he awaits us all;
God will link the broken chain,
When one by one we meet again.


FOR FRIDAY

Surrounded by friends
Yet all alone
The one I loved
God has called home

The hugs of friends
Helps ease the pain
And I know my loss
Is my loved one's gain

But tears now flow
Across my face
As I long for just
One more embrace

Then comfort comes
And I see Christ's face
He hugs my loved one
And I feel God's grace.


FOR SATURDAY

Please don't sing sad songs for me,
Forget your grief and fears,
For I am in a perfect place
Away from pain and tears...

It's far away from hunger
And hurt and want and pride,
I have a place in Heaven
With the Master at my side.

My life on earth was very good,
As earthly life can go,
But Paradise is so much more
Than anyone can know..
.
My heart is filled with happiness
And sweet rejoicing, too.
To walk with God is perfect peace,
A joy forever new.


FOR SUNDAY

When I come to the end of the day
And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little, but not too long
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love we once shared,
Miss me but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone.
It's all a part of the maker's plan,
A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart,
Go to the friends we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds -
Miss me, but let me go.

My Broken Heart
My broken heart..
Will never mend
So lots of kisses..
I shall send
We think of you..
In a better place
With beautiful wings..
And a smile on your face

Every day is a struggle you see
Trying to cope..
So please help me

How do I cope?
I do not know
My heart is broken..
So that goes to show

I can't except you are gone
I need you here..
Please keep me strong
Stay by my side..
Show me the way
Help me to cope every day

I love and miss you so much..
And I always will
Since you have been gone..
Time has stood still

I think of you in heaven..
With Gods Angels up above
Please my precious Angel..
Watch over me with love xxx

xx~~~~~ My Wish ~~~~~

I wish upon a star so bright
You'll visit me in my dreams tonight
That you'll kiss me gently on my cheek
And whisper "goodnight now go to sleep"

I wish upon a star so bright
That you'll stay with me throughout the night
It would be a dream come true for me
If just once more my love I could see.

~Life Beyond ~


Let them go, but not completely.
Hold on to them, but not too tightly.
Love them as you know you will,
as you always have.

Rejoice that they are well, the only difference
now is that you cannot see them,
But you feel them still and they will always be with you.
The spirit does not die as the body dies
and Love is of the spirit.

Nothing you have experienced together can be taken from you.
And your loved one shall be eternally yours in that love.
Weep not too long, that they may also cry,
But rejoice in their life and in yours also.
Let yours continue to be a celebration of all life; of your shared love,
Knowing that God holds you both in the palm of his hand
And in loving you both shall reunite you.

♥* *♥ Yesterday's ♥* *♥

I open up my heart to God
In my own special way
I dont ask for tomorrows
I want all my yesterdays

My yesterdays were happy
For they included you
So much love and laughter
We shared just me and you

Tomorrow is just another word
It means nothing to me
Please give me back my yesterdays
And my Angel back with me.

Tributes For Week Starting 9th November


FOR MONDAY

Your presence I miss,
Your memory I treasure,
Loving you always,
Forgetting you never.

FOR TUESDAY

Loving you is easy,
We do it every day,
Missing you is a heartache,
That never goes away.

FOR WEDNESDAY

No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God can tell us why.

FOR THURSDAY

Memory is a lovely lane,
Where hearts are ever true,
A lane I so often travel down,
Because it leads to you.


FOR FRIDAY

Wings Of The Angels

A gentle wind blew cross the land
Reaching out to take a hand
For on the winds the angels came
Calling out a mother's name.

Left behind, the children's tears
Loving memories of the years
Of joy and love, a life well spent
And now to God a mother's sent.

On angel's wings, a heavenly flight
The journey home, towards the light
To those who weep, a life is gone
But in God's love, 'tis but the dawn.

FOR SATURDAY

If I Had One Last Day

If I had one last day
To tell you what's inside
I'd tell you that I'm sorry
For all the times I've lied

I'd tell you that I need you
To hold my hand today
I'd tell you that I love you
I'd ask you, please, to stay

You'd look at me and smile
The way you always would
And say "I'd love to stay,
If only I really could"

Then you'd laugh the way you did
Whenever I was blue
You'd wipe my tears and whisper softly,
"Don't cry, I love you too"

If I had one last day
I'd love you from the start
I'd stop hiding how I feel
I'd say what's in my heart

If I had one last day,
I'd say my last good-bye
And that even though you are far away,
In my heart, you'll never die.

FOR SUNDAY

Cry Not My Friend

When you wake up tomorrow
And I am no where to be found
When you scream out my name
To the emptiness around

When every beat inside your heart
Is skipping and unsure
Cry not my friend for I am here,
Inside your love so pure

When the waves that used to touch our feet
Have gone back out to sea
When everything you once held dear
Was lost when you lost me

When the sun that once lit up your face
Is setting far away
Cry not my Friend for time shall pass,
But my love for you will stay

When age arrives and children play
And pain creeps up on you
When loved ones show you happiness
That your life never knew

When all of your expectations are met,
No matter what the pain
Cry not my friend, for I am waiting
To hold you once again

When beauty in your eyes turn grey
And all of the rainbow, white
When strong undying hearts
No longer feel an urge to fight

When winter snows become more pain
Than beauty in your heart
Cry not my friend, for I am here
And we will never ever part

My Dear Family
It's me again from Heaven
With a message from above
Feel my spirit all around you
As I sprinkle you with love...

***********

I have watched you, as your tears flow
I have heard your silent screams
I know you sleep with visions
Of me visiting your dreams...

***********

I have come and sat beside you
Placed my hands upon your face
Wiped away the many teardrops
I so wish I could erase...

***********

I have watched you every day now
Seen such pain within your eyes
I just wish that there were some way
I could help you realise...

***********

I am happy up in Heaven
In this peaceful loving place
Where I will be here waiting
To welcome you with my embrace...

***********

You will join me here in Heaven
When your time comes you’ll see
Leave your Earthly cares behind you
Travel on to where you’re free...

**********

I have heard you ask to go now
But there is more for you to do
I promise I'll be waiting
When your time on earth is through ...xxx
