    I'm very sorry to hear about Chad. I wished that I could have been there for him and everyone else. Chad is always on my mind. No one will ever take his place in my heart. I wished that I had never let go. (hardest thing that I have ever done) I know that I will never find anyone like him. Chad was the most kindest hearted, hard-working, honest, caring and tender man I know. I will never forget him or stop loving him. I have dedicated my "myspace" page to him in his loving memory. All of you mean the world to me and I will stay in touch with you. I love you all Milligan and Phillips family.
