Bobby and Cindy Phillips, Kings Mountain, North Carolina

In Loving Memory

December 21 1933-April 19, 2002

My father, Frank Phillips passed away on April 19, 2002 after a long battle with cancer.  He leaves behind Betty, his wife of 49 years, sons Bobby and wife Cindy, Scott Phillips and wife Kim, daughter Jenny Phillips Rikard and husband Barry, three grandsons Michael Phillips and his wife Kim, Andrew Phillips  and Clay Phillips, two granddaughters Stacy Phillips and Stephanie Rikard and 2 great granddaughters Kayla Walker and Sydney Phillips.

We all miss him dearly, but are so grateful that we shared our lives with such a wonderful man.  

This is the earliest picture I have of Dad and me.  This must have been in the summer of 1954.  The lady in the picture is my Mom's sister, Annie.  I had never seen this picture until after my Dad passed away.  My Uncle Louis, Dad's brother, found this in a shoe box and brought it to Mom. 

This is a family portrait we had made earlier this year.  That's my sister, Jenny on the left and my baby brother, Scott on the right.  Of course, that's my Mom seated in front.  I really like this picture because I look taller than Scott.  He's actually about 3 inches taller than me (but no where near as good looking!).
