In loving memory of our daughter, KAYLA FAITH VICTORIA PHILLIPS of Crystal Heights, St James, and former Owner of Phillips Pharmacies.

“The moment that you left me, My heart was split in two. One side was filled with memories, the other died with you. I often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheek. Remembering you is easy, I do it everyday, but missing you is a heartache, that never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart, and there you shall remain. Life has gone on without you, but it can never, ever be the same”.

“Not a day goes by that I don't think of you, How I wish you were still here; All the fun times we spent together, Your laughter and the smiles that you always shared”.

Forever in our hearts.
Lovingly remembered by your parents, Mark and Carmen Phillips, family and friends and the staff and customers of Phillips Pharmacies.
