Family, I know our hearts are heavy right now, auntie Phila was such a beautiful soul who touched each of us in her own special way. Though it hurts to let her go, let’s hold on to the love, the laughter, and the memories she left behind. In times like this, we need each other more than ever. Let’s lean on one another, comfort one another, and remind ourselves that we are not walking through this pain alone. Auntie’s love will always live in us, and her spirit will continue to guide us.. May God give us strength, peace, and healing in the days ahead. Love you cuzins Vickie, Junior and Robert.

From the Jernigan family to yours please accept our condolences. We connected with the family on Wickford Road, where Junior became my brother from another. Philomena allowed him to partake in whatever we had going including taking both my sister and I both to prom. She was a sweetheart and will be missed greatly. I pray God give you the strength and comfort during this time.
