LOVATO, PHILLIP RANDOLPH In remembrance forever in our hearts, Phillip Randolph Lovato, son, brother, father, nephew, cousin, uncle and friend, was born on 11/23/59, born again on 3/5/13. Four days to glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ. We miss you little brother, your laugh, your crazy way about you. I can't believe it's been one year already. We can't forget the details, the follow up. I'll never forget the Friday you called me and shared that great day. When the walls were closing in and that cool sister asked you if you needed prayer and you said yes. A simple prayer of faith. A sinner's prayer. What a confirmation for me, for all of us. I wish I knew who that sister or maybe an angel was. I know Father knows. But I thank her for standing up and taking care of business with boldness and courage which we all need to do. I thank you Father in a prayer of thanksgiving for all the prayers and all the beautiful people who were there for us when we needed them. Thank you Ski and Ken for everything. We love you guys and I know what that word means. On behalf of my family and Mama, Paulie, James, Dolores, and Lisa, may the Father always bless you and your families and keep His hands on you. Gal. 6-17
