Mr. Phillips was a very caring and compassionate man , I didn’t care for him long but the little time that I did , he was always upbeat up until his last final days . He would smile and laugh at the little comments I would make , everytime I would go to work , I would always look forward to seeing Mr. Phillips walking around ! I miss him so much dearly , without his presence the facility feels slightly empty , you have made an impact to all of us , and we all miss you dearly ! It’s hard to believe your gone , but I know your in a better place looking down on us ! It was a honor working for Mr. Phillips and may he Rest In Peace ❤️
