Punky, do you remember I taught you how to ride a bike? I remember tucking you in bed between me & your mom at night. xoxo When Linda Hardesty pulled your hair, I was ready to fight! Honey, I made it to heaven alright. I'm sorry I had to leave you kid's in such a hurry! I died in that wreck it's true, but you musn't worry. I know Bobby's memories of me & your mom are a little blurry. You kid's puppy that broke it's neck at your Grandpa Land's house was so cute, soft & furry. It piss's me & your mom off the way family's treated you! We know you still love us, and "PUNKY", we love you too. Bobby has your mom's big beautiful brown eyes, and you have mine of blue. I'm proud of you for finding "BOB LOTER"... God bless you! I know you & Bobby were abused after I died! We saw what went on from up here, and we cried and cried. When Terry L. told Bobby that I couldn't do anything about it...that hurt my pride. Terry L. & Richard F. won't make it to heaven, but if they do...they'd better hide! Thank-you "PUNKY", for being so good to mom, Norma & Don! Rusty says you were a "GOOD AUNT" too, and he loved Jeannie & John. When you kid's heard that I'd been killed I know it was hard to believe that I was gone. Your such a good sister to Bob L., Bobby, Shirley & Sharon too! There's no doubt about it "PUNKY", your the glue. I hate it that I missed out on being there for all of you! I hope you have a clue? I loved all 5 of my kid's and 9 of my Grand- children, and don't ever forget that "PUNKY" whatever you do! You've been awful good to Rosemary too! I know she's been sick, and she thinks the world of you. She appreciates everything you do. Bonnie did the best she could under the circumstances. People like Terry L. & Richard F. don't deserve 2nd chances. It's un-forgiveable they made those kinds of "Advance's". Bob Loter & "MEANIE MARIE" sure do look alot like me. Sharon looks just like her mom...you see. I have 3 beautiful daughter's, and I love all 3! I was about to tell Rosemary about Bob loter but then I passed away! When you get to heaven honey I'll explain what happened if it takes all day. I dated Betty Loter before I met your mom and that's all I need to say. Your Grandma, Aunt Rose & Uncle Jake DIDN'T KNOW...by the way! Betty Loter looked like Marilyn Monroe! When your mom died I just couldn't let go. It was love at first sight, I want you to know! I told your "Aunt Helen & Aunt Rose" To keep it quiet! I know when you found out that they had kept it from you kid's all these years it almost caused a riot! I still remember your always kissing me Good-night! Tell Rosemary that I said "Hello", and that I did care about her and I'm sorry we used to fight! "PUNKY", I'm sorry I spent too much time in the taverns...I know it wasn't right. Well, "PUNKY", it's time you let me & your mom go. Do you remember when your mom & I wrapped you & Bobby up like a Taco? "SMILE", when you think of me. Look down and remember ; "MY FOOTPRINTS IN THE SNOW"! IN LOVING MEMORY OF, ROBERT WALDO PHILLIPS xoxo poem by: Margie Hillgartner Bob Phillips daughter 11-02-2007 "REMEMBER...MY FOOTPRINTS" "IN THE SNOW" This is my fondest memory of my parents and brother Bobby all of us being together as a happy family.
