To the family of Rose and Willie Townsend, I like to send my condolences for your loss. The times I’ve been around Phillip has always been wonderful. Partly because we rarely seen each other and when we did, we laughed and joked a lot. Phillip had a very unique smile that would put a smile on the people around him as well as myself. I will forever love him. R.I.P nephew.
