Phil Stevens
Fil, the world isn't quite the same without you.
I will always remember the sensitivity with which you lived life. This was perhaps not by choice, but instead, by design. It was the way God created you. For a few short years, it was a wonderful blessing in my life and in the lives of many others. Your sensitivity was not a feigned reaction to the voices of the present culture, but instead, it was the essence of your soul. Sadly, it was this same sensitivity that led to your decision to leave this world. I only wish I could have been there with you, if not to change the inevitable, to tell you that you were never alone. Your spirit will forever live on in my heart, and my soul is far richer having known you. I, and the world, will miss you.
Your friend, Frank.
