Philip was a very special man who showed great courage and at the same time gave joy and laughter to all his friends. I only met Philip after he had MND and he was unable to speak but we were able to communicate and I told him lots of stories in fact I was in my element I did'nt stop talking!!
Philip it was an honour to know you and I miss you.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
