One Condolence for “NEWTON, Philip”

  1. Luella Voeller Cousins says:

    I am so sorry to hear of Philip’s passing. I always enjoyed hanging out with him in school. He had a way of making people laugh and he was always entertaining. I always wondered what he did after graduation. I will remember him fondly but I know his smile will be enjoyed by the angels. Rest in peace Philip. My condolences to your family.
