This site is dedicated to the memory of Philip Nelson.

Philip was born on March 28, 1980. He left his family on February 20, 2004. He took his own life over a heartbreak. He left behind family and friends who have a void in their hearts now. Philip was a precious son, brother, dad, grandson, nephew, and cousin to all who loved him in life. We will see him again.

I cannot believe it's been 20 years. I can still see Phillips smile and hear his laugh. He was always smiling and joking. Many good memories!

My Mom is a survivor, Or so I've heard it said. But I can hear her crying at night When all others are in bed. I watch her lay awake at night and go to hold her hand. She doesn't know I'm with her to help her understand. But like the sands on the beach That never washes away... I watch over my surviving mom, Who thinks of me each day. She wears a smile for others... A smile of disguise! But through Heaven's door I see Tears flowing from her eyes. My mom tries to cope with death To keep my memory alive. But anyone who knows her knows It is her way to survive. As I watch over my surviving mom Through Heaven's open door... I try to tell her those angels Protect me forever more. I know that doesn't help her... Or ease the burden she bears. So if you get a chance, go visit her... And show her that you care. For no matter what she says... No matter what she feels. My surviving mom has a broken heart That time won't ever heal. ~ Kaye Des'Ormeaux, October 15, 1998 Dedicated to all the moms who have lost a precious child & somehow managed to survive.
