    Phillip, much loved brother of Ray (dec), brother-in-law of Jan, and uncle of Kimberly and Arron (dec).
    Thanks for the memories Uncle Phil, the farm holiday when Arron and I were little is a treasured favourite, and loved the occasional phone call and visit. Glad you were pretty good with Facebook, it was a great way for us to keep in touch and share our horse pics.
    RIP Phillip, you will be missed.
    Reunited with Daryn.
    Love to Janice, Mike & Kirsty, John & Sunshine, and families.
    Jan & Kimberly Courtney and family ❤️
