My thoughts are with your loved ones on this 3rd anniversary of your EOW. I know the silent tears still fall in your memory and you are thought of every hour of every day and will never be forgotten. Continue to keep watch over your loved ones and those still out on patrol, you are a true hero and heroes never die. You will never be forgotten.

It cannot be 3 years on the 26th. It has been only a few heartbeats since you went out that door. How do people endure this? I miss you so much. Be at peace my Ronald.

Sgt. Phillips, you are prayerfully remembered as the second anniversary of your death approaches. Thank you for your many years of service. I am very sorry your family must walk this painful journey. Rest in peace, sir.

Even though I never knew you, I wanted to stop here and thank you for your dedicated service to law enforcement. You are a true hero and will never be forgotten. You were so close to retirement and I wish you could have had some time after law enforcement to just relax as you surely earned it after such a dedicated career. I also have experienced the many people who came to me, said they were sorry and would be in touch but those personal visits or calls never came. They went on with their lives while my life has been changed forever. It is like reliving a bad dream every day for the rest of your life. Sometimes I feel like I have some type of contageous disease or bad luck that will rub off on them. But, the Blue Family will remember you every year. Those that love you will never forget you for as long as they walk this earth and they will keep your name alive. Keep watch over your family. Protect them and help ease some of their pain. You are a true hero and will never be forgotten.

Sergeant Phillips Family, May you always know that he will not be forgotten. TRUE hero's never are. We give thanks to him and the other fallen officer's and remember what they gave so we would have a safer place to live. We are not promised a tomorrow, so we should follow by their example. God Bless

It seems like people forget so soon. I know it is just yesterday to me, but do they really just go on in their daily lives remembering nothing of the promises made?, the words said?, the tears shed?? I just don't understand how they do it. Do we really make such a small dent in people's lives?

? what would RON DO...

July 22, 2005

even after seeing your name inscribed with all the others on the wall in Washington,D.C. it still just doesn't seem real that you are not coming through the door in a minute to greet me with a kiss like always. How can this be true? It was wonderful to see how the fallen were treated that week but the boys & i miss the "other Ron",too. love you all ways

On behalf of my family, I would like to send my thanks to everyone who has left a word or two in memory of my father. Seeing your thoughts, notes, and prayers on this site has helped my family and I in a way that is very dear and special to us all. The past year has been very hard for all of us, and it is a comfort to look and see that theyre are still people who care enough to say a few words of condolence. That is more important to us than I am able to put into words. Thank you all. He was the greatest man Ive ever known, he was, and will always be, my hero. I do not expect to ever fill his boots, but if I ever grow up to be half the man he was, I will walk proud, with my head held high.

You would be so proud of our sons,my darling. They are so like you,they make me weep to see their courage. I miss you so. Be at peace,babe. I love you all ways.

I check this website daily, for our son recently lost his partner on a code call. We all grieve over the lives lost in the line of duty. I hope you can find some comfort knowing that there are countless prayers that go out for your family.

God bless the men and women who continue to serve their communities in our great nation.

Here is a special prayer for you:

Give eternal rest to them, O Lord,
Whose souls have taken flight.
And lead them to a better world
Where there is peace and light.
Grant them eternal freedom
From conflict, war, and care,
And fulfill for them Thy prophecy,
There shall be no night there.

Pray for us from above. We love you, son.

Jennifer, my heart and prayers go out to you, I know what you mean by checking this web-site every single day, and sometimes twice. My son was killed by another officer, he had just turned 26. Somedays are harder than others. The only saving grace for me is that I know Clint loved what he was doing and wouldn't have changed jobs with anyone, I bet Sergeant Ronald Phillpis was the same way. Clint was the officer killed just before your husband so I know that Clint was waited on him, if nothing else but to show him around heaven.
I know that you will miss him everyday, as much as we miss Clint, but we will never for get him....
