Dear Phil and Rosaleen: I am so sorry for the sudden loss of your son Philip. My thoughts are with you at this time. -Gail Gooderham

I only knew Phil from when he would come into my workplace, but he was always so friendly, polite, good-humored and fun. He was appalled when we got onto the topic of movies one day and I admitted I had never seen 'Scarface'...I'll watch it soon and remember him fondly. I'm so sorry for your loss - know that he made an impression on people, and his kindness shone through.

Philip and Rosaleen, we just heard the news and we are so sorry we were not there for you today. Had we known we would have been there today to support you.

Rosaleen, Phil and family. Just to let you know I am thinking of you all at this sad time. May Philip rest in peace and may God help you through this hard time.

I did not know Philip and his family. I moved from Aurora to Bradford a few months ago and now I drive the same road every day. I have thought about the two young men and their families every day since the accident. I was celebrating my 17 year old son's birthday on that day and feeling the loss of my mother who was also born on that day. For reasons I can't explain, I have been thinking about the 2 young men and their families every day, every moment I drive that section of road, and every moment I am frustrated about something, I immediately think of what your family is coping with. Perhaps it is because I have had to cope with similar unexpected loss, but I just felt compelled to extend my deepest sympathy and I pray that your journey through the grief is always supported by the joy in your memories.

God bless and stay strong everyone. My love and thoughts go out to the McGovern family and everyone close to Phil.

Rest in peace Phil you were a solid guy, we will all deeply miss you and will be thinking of you at every turn in our lives. it so tragic that you and Andrew had to leave us, your life was just starting  and it then taken from us so quickly. I miss you and will always be thinking you bro r.i.p

We all will miss Phil's smile, his loving heart and his passion for life.  Phil was able to light up a room with his presence.  He loved life and loved his family and friends.  it has been an honor to know Phil and his loving family.  May you find peace during these difficult times through God's love.  Joe and Marge Langteau

May you find peace and happiness in God's presence.  You will be missed by us deeply.  God please help the McGovern Family in their time of need to find peace and heal quickly.  All our deepest sympathy the Woodruff Family.

Auntie Rosaleen, Phil, Neil and Aiden...I was watching some old family videos yesterday of all of us and Philip...it was very bitter-sweet. He was such a good kid. I loved giving him Irish dancing lessons-- he was such a natural! And as he got older, we had several meaningful conversations about the important things in life and what we wanted for ourselves. He always knew just how important family was. Philip was a genuine person who was liked and loved by so many-- what an amazing thing to achieve in only 
25 years on this earth! I will miss him, but will always carry my memories of him in my heart! Lots of love to each one of you. xoxo

Phil, Rosaleen, Neil and Aiden

Neil:  My deepest sympathies to you and your family for this tragic loss.  My thoughts are with you.


To the McGovern family, there is no pain like the loss of a child. He may have been a man in his body, but to a parent, he was still their child… 
I wish you both strength and peace as you begin a new journey 
I had been given this poem in my time of need and have re read it many times when I question why???
I hope that it will bring you both some comfort in your time of need! 

Don't think of him as gone away-
  his journey's just begun,
  life holds so many facets--
  this earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
  from the sorrows and the tears
  in a place of warmth and comfort
  where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
  that we could know today
  how nothing but our sadness
  can really pass away.
And think of him as living
  in the hearts of those he touched...
  for nothing loved is ever lost--
  and he was loved so much

Our thoughts are with you in this time of grief.  Your family help us through the loss of our mother and we will forever be in your debt.  Please extend our hugs to everyone in your family.  
Cathy, Dan, Michael, Nick

Our most sincere condolences to your family.  Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
