To the Williams family from the Wahl family deeply sadden today. These are going to be very diffucult days ahead. So be supportive toward one another. reflect on the many ways "PHILLIP" has touched your heart. For he loved you all very much. He knew you all loved him. He wouldn't want you to be sad or unhappy. Many will come to HONOR your "PHILLIP"! Yes, he is an AMERICAN HERO! However, he was so much more to those that knew him and loved him. He has not died in VAIN! He has served his COUNTRY unselfishly.

Brandon,
It's hard to sit here and look at my computer screen and write this knowing that your gone... I was thinking about you not too long ago and remembered our last conversation outside your house and I thought about you in Iraq and when you would be home... There were things I wanted to tell you when you came home and I was so looking forward to telling you when then news came that you had passed away... I was devistated, it hit me like nothing i've ever felt... I read in the newspaper that you were going to be home on November 17th, my birthday... it looks as though I wont get a chance to say the things I wanted to say to your face so i'll tell you now...
Thank you, for everything you did for me, thank you for seeing me and taking the time to know who I really am... you always told me to stand up and be strong and not care what other people thought... you were one of my very best friends... you mean so much to me... I want you to know that I love you, I always have and I always will... Im so thankful that I got to be apart of your life, and im so thankful that I got to sit and talk to you and know you... your an extradonary person and you had such a beautiful spirit... im sorry for the people who never got to see that in you... you deserved life more than anybody that I know, you were doing great things, you went beyond everybody's expectations of you, you lived your dream and I hope that you can look down and know in your heart that you did something incredible....
Im so sorry that I wont see your smile anymore or hear your laugh or read one of your stories you wrote... I would have loved to change the oil of a car with you one more time, but most of all im sorry that I never got to say goodbye... but always know that your in my thoughts, my mind and my prayers always and forever... I will carry you in my heart the rest of my life, you will never be forgotton and when I get to heaven I hope that you'll be waiting there with new stories, full of laughs and a car that needs an oil change really bad :) until that day... rest peacefully and know that you are only a thought away...
Thank you for everything you've done for me and for our country... your a HERO....
I love you always....
Mel...
