Philip Bradley

May his memory be for a blessing. Rachel & Deb

Dear Tami & Jim -- What a privilege for the two of you to have brought such a sensitive and generous soul as Philip into this world and--along with his brother, Nathan--to have nurtured and accompanied him on his too-brief stay on this earthly plane! One of my fond memories is of the time the two of us spent preparing ourselves to hold Children's Classes using the Core Curriculum provided by the NSA. Another is of his willingness to assist the LSA with the task of finding hosts for Feasts, and of the respectful and encouraging manner in which he educated the Friends about the bounty of such hospitality. I will continue to grieve his loss with you and Nathan, and hope that you will be solaced by the assurance that his unfettered spirit remains present among us as we call on him to assist us in our efforts to bring Baha'u'llah's healing Message to humanity. With love and prayers, Jeannette Phillips

Oh Phillip you have filled up my heart so many times with your beautiful smile, your warmth and wit, and your deep reverence for everything that walks this earth. You are possibly the most intelligent boy and man I have ever known. Bodhi’s love for you speaks volumes. You have blessed us all, and your grace will continue on in those of us who have had the great gift of your presence in our lives. I will always miss you. Phil; you will always be Bodhi’s boy.

I remember Phillip as a handsome, thoughtful, pleasant and devoted fellow pilgrim when we met in 2007 and it was such a bounty to share that experience with him. Including the ice cream! I cherish those memories and the friendship that was born from it, and I have loved the glimpses that you have offered, Jim and Tami, of these two outstanding human beings--your sons--through the years. Phillip, I cannot help but feel the world is diminished with your absence. It is not ours to understand why your time with us was so very short, but we will carry on with certitude that your work here on earth was somehow complete and with gratitude for the gift of knowing you.

Dear Tami, James, Nathan, family, and friends, Though I wasn't lucky enough to have met Philip, I was deeply touched by the family's words about him and offer condolences to all. What a generous gift he gave the neighborhood to plant wheat and corn, etc. in a visible spot that reminded many of their roots in Montana. I hope there is some comfort for you in knowing of his spiritual quest. Jodi Varon
