Phillip Christopher Grimwood January 7 1980 - May 16 1998 In Memory of Phillip Christopher Grimwood It was a beautiful summers day on Buckstones Road, May 16th 1998 approx 4.15pm when Phillip's car crashed through a dry stone wall and fell 70 feet before hitting another dry stone wall. Phillip was then catapulted from the car another 60 feet over a road and into a field, before his poor body came to rest. He passed away instantly "Thank God". Philip was our only son he was always happy and a joy to be with. No child could have been more content in their eighteen years on this earth. As a baby Phil was so placid and good-looking we were so proud he was ours. As a young man he enjoyed all that life had to offer. He was a fortunate child in as much as he saw a lot of the world in his short life but he always respected his position in life and knew his place. This is still being shown by his many, many friends who still go to see and talk to him at his place of rest in Royton Cemetery. He was the type of person who lit up a room when he walked in ("How we wish he could walk in now"). We know many Mums and Dads all around the world have sons just like Phillip, but he was ours and words will never express how much we miss him. One day in another world a smile will appear and we will know we are together again. Until then Phil you will stay in our heart's never ever to be forgotten. All our Love Mum, Dad and Ruth. x x x Memory There is a place called memory, Where we sometimes like to roam. Through hills of love and laughter A place we know as home. A place that's free from all this pain Where our hearts are light once again A place that lives forever, Where life is, as it was before. Our children live in memory. They laugh and dance and sing. Their lives are filled with a magic That only Heaven can bring. They feel no hurt or anger. Their spirits are free as air. And God's love will always protect them In times when we aren't there. Cherish this place called memory. Feel the love that lives there. Remember the joys, the warmth of the sun, And the bond you will always share. Smile at happy moments, Laugh at times gone by. Let the tears you cry be happy ones, Know love will never die. Have no fear of visiting; the joy will outweigh the pain. Learn to treasure memory for there is much that you will gain. And though life Phil, is not as it was before, And never will be again. Our memories are much richer, Than if love had never been.
