My husband and I would like to convey our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of your beloved Philip. We would like to share with you something that has brought us much comfort at a similar time in our lives. John 11:14-44 shares with us the experience of Jesus resurrecting Lazarus here on earth before the very eyes of those he loved. We can only imagine the tears of joy when we too are reunited with our dear loved ones. (John 5:28,29 )Philip will surely be missed by many of those who’s lives he shared, remember the experiences you shared together and learn from them, hold them close to your heart and cherish them. May you find comfort from those who surround you at this very difficult time. Our sincere condolences to all of you.
To the Babcock family, I am sorry to hear about Philip’s passing. He was a classmate of mine. I remember him as always having a smile on his face. God bless.
To the entire Babcock family,
