April 23-Feb-2005 11:14 AM -0500 I look over the news everyday to see what has been updated on justice for your son. I hope for your entire family that justice comes quickly. Hope your family is holding up well. Many prayers for all.
The Schneider Family 20-Feb-2005 08:14 AM -0500 It is always sad when someone so young leaves us, and it is not good when something so tragic happens like this. Our sincere sympathy is with you all, we have lost love ones at a young age too, and it is tragic. The one consolation though is, it does make you appreciate every day you have and to love and keep close to our hearts the ones that matter, because we know now that life can change in a second. God Bless your Son,And Keep Him Safe in Heaven. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, and don't give up, justice will prevail.
ANDY MARION 19-Feb-2005 10:00 AM -0500 SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR SON HE WAS AT YOUR HOUSE ONE TIME WHEN I WAS THERE.

Jeannie 18-Feb-2005 11:57 AM -0500 Such a terrible thing that has happened to Phil and my prayers are certainly with everyone who has suffered over this terrible thing, there is no hurt that can equal the loss of a child even though seperation is always hard but the seperation of a mother and child cannot be ever really put away. God will help you through this if you let him, and he will give you a vision of when you reunite, if you will let him. But the memories will always be there of the child you carried and bore, took care of and loved, made mistakes and grew from, the dreams you had for their future and all the hardships that got you to where you are. We dont have all the answers for the whys of things in our lives but I will say God is still faithful and if you will trust him and let Jesus in if you have not done this already, then you will be able to sustain until He comes and all this is put behind us. This is a stepping stone in all of your lives, all of our lives, everyone who has been touched by this. The Phil I remember was a young Phil mostly from camping, so full of energy you wish you could just bottle it up for future use, very loving and always looking for approval and attention, wanting sometimes to slow down but just couldn't. Well he is in a place now where he can let all that energy out, a place we are hoping ourselves to be whenever our appointed time comes. But little Phil went way before time as this would not have be a way or time chosen but Missy keep your eyes on Christ and all this will work out to the good to them that love the Lord. Let your vision be to be with him in heaven, as hard as all this is for you let God comfort you and trust him to take care of this whole terrible situation as only he knows how. They can take the commandments down if they want, they can make them stop praying in the schools, they can make a mockery of religion all they want but God still reigns. God Bless and Keep you all, Love and Prayers always Jeannie and family
Mary W. 18-Feb-2005 06:48 AM -0500 God bless you fine people for all that you have been through. For all that you are doing. We all need to come together and march up to Ehrlich's front door and raise the biggest stink he's ever seen. It is time they do something about this horrible problem. I am praying somebody will listen. Again god bless you. We love you. You are in our thought and prayers. MW
Roxanne Reyes, Thrift 18-Feb-2005 02:48 AM -0500 Phil & Missy i'm so sorry to here about your son. God Bless your family.

Gina 17-Feb-2005 04:59 PM -0500 Lil Phil, I’ve watched you grow from a baby to a handsome man. You were blessed with a wonderful soul and giving heart ~ God made you perfect. I feel so fortunate that I was able to share part of my life with you. As a child, you were full of energy and curiosity. You will be missed here on earth ~ but the heavens are privileged to have such a vibrant soul that radiates so much love. You’ll do great things there ~ I know it! I’m sure there’s a college in heaven to fulfill your dream as a RN. Hug Grandpa & Mamal for me…and let them know we miss them too. Just remember Phil, one day we’ll all be back together again. Until then, watch over your mom & dad (they need you). Love you always… Your cousin, Gina “We pray for justice in your honor…in the Name of Jesus.” Amen.

Jolene 17-Feb-2005 10:21 AM -0500 Hey Lil Phil...... Good morning baby, Just wanted to holla at ya and let you know u still with us and in our thoughts and will remain there for now and eternity.... Fallon and I love you very much and you know that..... One thing I can say over the years watching you grow up and becoming your friend and respecting the love you had for your lil sister was a wonderful feeling..... I thank God every day that Fallon got the chance to know you, Mikey, Kenny, Jeffrey and Jamie, as well as Her big sister Angie. And no matter whatever the circumstances are in life no one can ever take that away from her or Me! I was lucky enough to develop a relationship with all of you. So I thank God for that opportunity, so I don't have to say I wish i got a chacne to know you or spend time with you. I did and i enjoyed it, granted you and Fallon together well a handful but were always funny together. I love Angie and all of you boys and every last one of you know that. Angie, Mikey, Phil, Kenny, Jeffrey and Jamie you all know where I am if you ever need me I am here..... Phil and feel free to come to me in anyway you can .... If anyone feels like they didn't get a chance to love and know lil Phil ... he does have 6 wonderful siblings and a whole lot of friends that you can get to know and hopefully fill that emptiness you have now that its to late to be apart of lil Phils life.... I love you Lil Phil..... Jolene & Fallon
G.B. 17-Feb-2005 09:06 AM -0500 Dear Melissa and family, I am a mother of two sons and I felt the pain that you and your family felt when I heard the news of Philip's tragic murder on that bus. I read the newspaper this week that described the lives of Phil and the coward that murdered him. Melissa, any mother who read your words could tell that you are living with regret and immeasurable heartache. You should not have to justify your parenting of your sons. Obviously, you did everything you could to help Phil. I totally understand what you must have been going through. My oldest son used to "run away" when he was a toddler and we thought we had lost him so many times when he left. There is no worse feeling for a mother - except what you are going through. I thought it was disgusting that the newspaper tried to show that the lives that Phil led and the life of his murderer were somehow similar because that is not the case. You are a good mother and you obviously love your children. I give you much credit for being strong through everything you have gone through. Please know that there are people out there that you don't even know who are praying for you and your family. God bless you, Melissa.
Sherri 17-Feb-2005 08:41 AM -0500 My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I know the pain you must be going thru to lose a child is the hardest of all, and to lose a child like this is just horrible!! Trust that God will bring justice, pray, I promise He will get you through this and give you the strength to fight the system for allowing this to happen. There is absolutely no excuse as far as I'm concerned for the guards on that bus doing nothing to help. I too am familiar with the prison system and what goes on inside those walls, my heart goes out to you. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

hi baby
I miss you !! I suppose you know that .
I can feel you a round me at times I just cant seam to catch you
things here are really just falling down I some times wonder what else can they do to us ?
and I realize I will never feel the pain you did and then I feel the screaming in side my
soul how will I ever make it throw this how can I never be able to see you and hold you
and hear you call me mommy again how ? All I want to do is leave but I will never leave
or give up on you I promise I will never stop while there is a breath left in this empty
heart of mine to all pays for what happen to you and I will never stop till I feel
justice has been done witch I know will never ease my pain. I see you every min of every
day fighting for your life and I don't know that it will ever go away all I know is for
sure they will one day have to face me one day they will have to look in to my eyes and
answer to me and you know I will make them give this to me there is nothing they can say
nothing there is no reason for you to be gone none so how do I do this just give mommy
the strength to see this to the end for what I need no one no one will every be able to
give back to me all I feel is rage emptiness that have take my big beautiful baby away
from me some times I think I am losing my mine and I try really hard to stay strong for
you this site helps gives me a way to talk to you but I am still unable to talk to others
for I feel my self being mean and I never want to to that so many people have showed me
so much love and calls and visits and I just don't know what to say I will never be me
again never all my boys have made me who I am and now a piece of me is gone never to come
to me again I look into those big brown eyes and remember the first and last time I ever
saw them you where indeed one of my greatest gifts from god and greatest thing I have
ever done I love each and ever one of you boys I hope and pray no mother will ever have
to hear the things I have heard and not yet have told to me for sure what you went
throw I do need to know I want to know and know one has the balls to tell me what they
did to you and I can not understand this why I see it I live it I took your last ride
and found my self with feelings I can not describe the rage in side grows and some one
has to help me please just tell me why nothing was done to help you I can not allow this
to ever happen to no one else and I know I have to fight just talking to you gives me
the strength to fight and never stop so know how much I love you and how hard I will
fight like always your mommy will be there to fight and badge for you till these people
tell me something
Philip my Philip yes you where mine body and soul I will never for give again
like always I love you stay safe and strong
your Mommy
Miranda 16-Feb-2005 06:04 PM -0500 Phil, Hey it's me again. Just sittin here thinkin about you, and you're family. I miss you a lot. I had planned to see you again, but someone ruined my plans. I just want your mom to know that I love her like she's my mom, and my thoughts and prayers are with her forever. This is not going to be one of those moments where something happens, and within a month or two, it's all blown over. i'm not ever going to forget about you Phil... I love you like a brother. I know you're not here physically, but in my heart and mind, and as for many others, you are here spiritually. And to Jamie and Kenny, I love ya'll too. I just think of some of the things that you did, and I like on it. i'm not going to say cuz I don't want to put you out there. I had some crazy times with ya'll... We were all little porch monkeys... lol.... Well Phil, imma go now, i'll talk to ya soon. Love ya. Mrs. Melissa: I love you, and I hope to see you seek justice, and if you ever need anything, give us a call, or just simply stop by. R I P Phil "Gone but not forgotten"
Crystal Dalangin 16-Feb-2005 05:19 PM -0500 I have been on here quite a lot and have not wrote anything because I just wasn't sure what I wanted to say. Little Phil, I hope you know how much you are indeed loved and even though I did not know you the way I should have does not mean that I don't care and miss you. I can only hope that through your death and through your memory, we can learn from this and cherish our family more. Although we have not always been perfect, we are still a family and that is something for which to be thankful. I hope you have taught us to show more love for one another and realize that no matter what, family is family and nothing can ever break that. You, Uncle Phil, Missy, Angie, Jeffrey, Kenny, Jamie, and Fallon ... You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Jen 16-Feb-2005 04:16 PM -0500 although I wasnt friends with phil parker I still knew him..it makes me so sad seeing this happen to him...its just so hard to deal with...I cry everytime I hear his name and hear what happened to him..I seriously hope that the man who did this to him gets the death penalty.Phil was only 20 years old.he was goodlooking,and had his whole life ahead of him.but someone had to take that away from him.I really hope justice is served... R.I.P Philip E.Parker ..we miss you,and you will always be in our hearts forever ..you will never be forgotten!
Kenisha Potts 16-Feb-2005 03:16 PM -0500 Sorry for your loss. I am a friend of your son James. I am here for your son James when ever he needs me.

I just wanted to also say to my Uncle Phil and Missy I am sorry I didnt know Little Phil they way I should have but I cant bring back time but through his brothers I hope I can get to know the person he was and the people that they are today We are family and everyone needs each other right now. I love you little Phil !
To The Mother Of Philip Parker Jr. 15-Feb-2005 02:04 PM -0500 TO MOMMY FROM HEAVEN © By Sandra L. Garman Mommy, don't cry, 'cause God is holding my hand and telling me everything is OK. Mommy, God said that I will never want for anything and I will still feel your love all the way up here. Mommy, you should see me, I am running and playing with God's other children. Mommy, guess who helps watch over us while we play? They are God's Helping Angels! Mommy, I'm not afraid, my grandpa and grandma are here. They came to me when it was dark and held my hands; then we went to God's bright light, where Angels were singing. Mommy, God said, If you feel sad, to remember this; I'll be the gentle breeze that brushes your face, the sun is my smile and the rain is me washing away your pain. Mommy, I have to go now. I send you all my love on the wings of an Angel. Love from your son, to you Mommy.

Lillie Harlow 15-Feb-2005 08:52 AM -0500 As I sit here and my heart aches and tears fall. As I read the letters from you all. So sweet and kind line after line. how do I go about writing mine. What we shared was special and true. But like always that's between me and you. I couldn't wait for you to come home and meet my son. And tell him wild stories of things we had done. The cross you made hangs next to my heart. Protecting me while were apart. Hopes and prayers of seeing you again. Sadness falls ! because that can only happen when my life ends. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH never goodbye just until we meet again. Lillie

donna(winters)parker 14-Feb-2005 12:49 PM -0500 i am truly sorry that you have to go throw such a horrible tradagy i hope they will bring to justice asll that were involed in this crime
Frances Purisima 14-Feb-2005 11:38 AM -0500 I do not know your son, but I feel compelled to write because I have also lost someone I love in a senseless act of violence in April of 2004. Tomorrow the murder trial for B.J. Jenkins starts and like your son, B.J. also touched so many lives and did not deserve to die the way he did and tomorrow I will face the coward that tried to play the role of god that night in April and with pride and conviction I will face him without fear and remorse I will face him with joy because he will be served with the sentence in jail he deserves. There are so many crimes that go unsolved and I am thankful that the murderer that took the life of my loved one will be brought to justice on February 15, 2005. So keep harrassing the Division of Corrections and I truly believe that you will have the justice you long for. Take care and you and your family are in my prayers. Justice for Phil Jr. and Justice for B.J. Jenkins will be served in tomorrow! May they both keep a look out over all of us and keep us safe. Love you always B., Fancy

KRISTIE O. 13-Feb-2005 11:16 PM -0500 TO PHIL'S ENTIRE FAMILY, I DID NOT KNOW YOUR SON, BUT I HOPE AND PRAY THAT YOU FIND JUSTICE. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU SON IS THE MOST HORRIBLE THING I HAVE EVER HEARD. THE PRISON SYSTEM SUCKS AND THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR WHAT HAPPENED. THE PERSON OR PERSONS THAT DID THIS DESERVE THE DEATH PENALTY AND THAT INCLUDES THE WORTHLESS GUARDS THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO BE PROTECTING YOUR SON. I PRAY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND MAY YOUR SON REST IN PEACE NOW, NOTHING OR NO ONE CAN HURT HIM EVER AGAIN.

marie george 13-Feb-2005 10:36 AM -0500 hello all, i just signed online to say im so sorry again, and all these people need to pay dearly, i heard that your son, was never suppose to be on that bus rumor has it, that the bus he was on was a super max bus. but you know how rumors will start now, i heard so many things about my brothers death, like why, and no matter how they were on the streets or in the jail, that doesnt justify what has happened to these boys. they were taken from a loving family. and didnt deserve to go out like the way they did. these were young boys that im sure the family would agree ...we were to grow old with, i read this site everyday to see just how things are going , melissa & phil im so sorry i wish i could say the pain goes away but it never will, i just hope that all good things come to your family now. if you need anything email me at puttytatt31@aol.com
Rachel Edwards 13-Feb-2005 07:22 PM -0500 Missy, I can't begin to imagine what you are going through and I won't say I'm sorry because it's more than sorry that I feel. You are in my thoughts and prayers everyday. I remember lil Phil teaching lil Robbie and Donnie how to dance and playing with them all the time. He was a good boy, who like alot of us took the wrong path for a minute and didn't deserve this. If there is anything at all you need from me, I will help in any way I can. I pray that God gives you the strenghth and perserverence to see this through to the end. And remember that even if we don't see justice in our lifetime, God has something for everyone involved in this.
JS 13-Feb-2005 06:34 PM -0500 Growing up with Phil I had some times I could never forget and I hope that justice will be served and something like this will never happen again. I send my most sincere prayers to the whole family. Rest In Peace.
paula 13-Feb-2005 05:56 PM -0500 im very sorry to hear about your son. i know it must be very hard for you and your family. i hope that the guy who did this to your son dies and regrets it everyday. i hope the gaurds even get put in jail for letting this one happen to your son. i send my love to your family and keep you in prayer.
angel drury 13-Feb-2005 04:30 PM -0500 sorry for what happened we will all miss u
Melissa Rodriguez Phil, you will never know how much I love and miss you. I close my eyes and all I see is you fighting for your life and how scared you must have been and I die each time. I am so sorry I wasn't there to help you to stop this from happening, How will I ever say good bye. I could never say good bye in life to you in fear that it would be the last words said. You will never know never how I wish I could have taken your place and you didn't have to feel and go through all that pain. I look at your beautiful face and wonder why this could happen to you, some one so loving and beautiful. Your life was hard and your death was will never go away. Those who have done this to you I hope and pray will never rest. I hope and pray this will never happen to any other person. You deserved so much more in life. I would give my life to have just one more day with you. To hear "I love you Mommy" just once more. You where one of my greatest gifts and I promise to remember every moment you were on this earth. I will never rest till you have justice. Your grand father is in so much pain. He believes you are now with his son who was lost in the same system, and your Momom will now take care of you Phil. I know you are in a much better place. I truly do, but I just want you here with me. Please dear Lord hold my baby close, love him, hug him, and tell him how much his Mommy loves him. I will never stop fighting for you, never. I just don't want to stop talking to you, but I know I have to I can never say good bye, never. I will always love you all ways I have so much to say but right now is not the time. I would like to say thank you to all who has logged on and ask please that anyone, for get my great son, help me get the answers I need, please help.
Philip, Mommy will always love you. Melissa Rodriguez the mother of this beautiful boy

We realy love you even if I have not seen you in a long time. The
man that killed you he should be killed. He should be ashamed of himself.
Even though that guy had mental problems there was no right to kill Phil. But there

no one can describe how bad it hurts to lose someone you love so much... and to lose
a son...has to hurt more than anything... Phil was only 20 years old and gorgeous....
No person could have done this to him... the person who done this is a MONSTER and i
hope phil haunts him and the gaurds and they sees phil in their dreams at night and
see what hes done to him and his innocent family.. i hope who done this to phil and
the pathetic gaurds all burn in hell... i read some of the things people have wrote
in here and i get tears in my eyes and some of them make me cry.... just looking at
his pictures and trying to understand why someone would hurt someone so beautiful
makes me cry... YOU"LL NEVER BE FORGOT PHIL

KENNY... IF U NEED ANYTHING LET ME KNOW!!!!

Kelly Coulson & Family 12-Feb-2005 10:13 PM -0500 To Lil' Phil's family though I did not know Phil that well, I have known his family for a very long time. My thought's and prayers are with you. God bless all of you...
12-Feb-2005 09:46 PM -0500 "When my heart can beat no more I hope I die for a principal or a belief that I had lived 4. I will die before my time Because I feel the shadows depth, So much I wanted to accomplish before I reached my death. I have to come 2 grips with the responsibility and wipe the last tear from my eyes, I loved all who were positive, In the event of my demise"- Tupac Shakur (1971-1996)
Susan 12-Feb-2005 07:39 PM -0500 To all of Philip's family my heart goes out to you. I have a brother who is the same age and is in the same institution that Philip was in and to tell you the truth I was glued to the television the night that this happened I feared for my brother and for all of the youth that are in that horrible place. It just goes to show you that when it comes to the safety of our youth you cannot just hire some stranger off the street and pay him $5.15 an hour and expect them to protect the ones we love. This is a shameful crime and I hope the people involved (all the people involved including the guards who werent guarding anyone) are all brought to justice. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of sorrow..
George & Barbara Sharpe 12-Feb-2005 04:01 PM -0500 this should NEVER had happened! We don't know you or your family, but our deepest sympathy goes out to you all.
Jolene Barnes 12-Feb-2005 02:30 PM -0500 Hey Phil, Just wanted to let you know we think about you everyday and you are the topic of our everyday conversation. We all miss you very much. And although both of your sisters, Angie and Fallon are never mentioned, they do love you very much. You already know that. Even, tho Fallon is young you spent plenty of time over here with her when things weren't going so well for you. But no matter what you always pulled thru.... We love you very much and will see you again some day.
Heather Comer ( daughter of Jackie) 12-Feb-2005 01:37 PM -0500 To the family of Phip: I went to school with philip unfortunatly i went to school with the one that took his life too. I am so sorry about the loss of your son. The one memory of Phil that sticks out in my head is when he ran away from our Residental Treatment Center ( Rica Baltimore) We went to the Harbor and the next thing you know they were asking where Philip was. He must of been fast cause i remember he was walking with us one moment and the next he was gone. It was funny no one else had the guts to do it but him. That was the last time i saw him its to bad that i couldnt of kept in touch. I am so sorry that this had to happen to you. I didnt know his parents but my mother was best friends with Gina Thaxton. I grew up around her and her family and the hole time i didnt even know that phil was related. I hope that justice is served it hurts me to know that i knew the one who is accused of taking his life. I wish there was more that i knew. Something maybe to help his family out all i have is his memory. I couldnt believe it when i heard what happened. I am so sorry. If you could just get back with me i might know someone who was very close with his attacker. If there is anything that i can do please let me know. if you need to reach me you can email me at Letmebeme2002@ aol.com and i will respond i am in school most of the week but i will be checking my email thank you and may god rest his soul.
mike t. 12-Feb-2005 12:00 PM -0500 phil, after going over what has been said and what the media has come up with, i feel justice will be served sooner than people initially thought. no matter which way they bring it, theres absolutly no way the state can defend its self. it sadens me that correction officials are (mr.bailey) in chief, assert that, this,and the other instead of simply saying , you know we messed up we let a senseless murder happen on our own bus because we lacked proper staff, and we couldn't monitor the prisoners professionally due to lighting or what have you.in any event doc, blood is on your hands. love ya,mike
The Rahe Family 12-Feb-2005 11:28 AM -0500 We would like to send our sympathy to your family in your time of need.May god bless your family. Laura,Linda,Sissy, and Robert Rahe
Ryan Grimes 12-Feb-2005 12:30 AM -0500 Im very sorry for your loss. I didnt know Philip that well but I met him on many occasions when I was younger. Philip and my cousin Kenny Smith were close and I cant even imagine how this has affected your family. You are in my prayers
Steven Lowman And James Parker 11-Feb-2005 09:40 PM -0500 From James: Whats up big boy how you doin up there. You know everybody down here misses you. I wish you where here your baby brother is looking like you everyday of the week. Guess what i get to come home in a week buddy. im going to school i know you would be proud of me. Tell Mom Mom and grandpa Parker that i will be up there soon but not that soon. Well Phil i love you R.I.P
From Steve: Whats up phil i hope you doin better then down here tell granpa Parker i said hi. Save us some room up there. i can't believe you are gone it hurts so bad on the inside but im stayin strong on the outside. Just for you. I love you Phil we will always remember you R.I.P
Fallon Parker 11-Feb-2005 09:27 PM -0500 You know that I love you with all my heart! Your baby sister Fally
Sarah Sweitzer 11-Feb-2005 05:24 PM -0500 I am truly sorry for your family's loss. Only time will heal the sensitive wounds that you are all feeling. I could never imagine what pain you all are feeling and I hope that I never will. Please don't ever give up your fight for Phil, keep your heads up and always remember Phil will always remain in everyone's heart, don't let the bad over-shadow all the good. Phil will always watch over your family from this point in time and foward. His love for you will never end just because he is no longer here with you. Hold all the memories near and dear to your heart and never let them go. Phil and the entire Parker and Rodriguez family you are in my thoughts and prayers everyday. Never look back on regrets and what you should've done. You've all done the best to what you could do and Phil will never have any remorse on it all. When I heard what had happened to Phil I was in shock that our Crimial System would make such a stupid mistake. To put Phil on the same bus that the person he was testifying against is a complete lack of judgement on the "correction officers" part. The person who did this will be brought to justice. Fight for Michaels safe return and pray that nothing like this ever happens to another innocent person. Keep strong and always keep fighting for Phil's justice!!!! Sarah Sweitzer

Missy and Phil I want to tell you that I am really sorry for your loss. The hardest
part is that this should have never happened. I hope you get the answers you need
soon the answers your whole family needs and freinds of Phil. I only wish that he
knows how much everyone loves him. My children are really hurt by this they spent
alot of time with Phil down the trailer fishing,swimming, and fighting.Also
Kenny and Amy said that everyday Phil would come up CVS and see them give Amy a
hug and ask Ken how he was doing.I don't understand why they haven't charged someone
with this it has been over a week someone needs to get on it!!! Maybe if they charge
everyone that was on the bus they will get the answers that are needed!! How come
no one is saying what the guards comments are? In the dictionary it says
Guard - protect,sheild,conceal,preserve,hide,defend,cover,sentry + protector
I had to look this up. Because guards were suppose to protect your son.
Does guard mean something else in the Md.prison system, Phillip is not the first family
member we have lost we didn't get the answers we needed the last time I hope and pray
we get them this time.Also I would hope they would give Mike clemency I think he has
been in there long enough he needs to be home with his family at this time he is
probably going crazy in there.
Any way Missy you know your family is here for you and the boys.We love you guys
our prayers are with you.
Your cousin Cindy

Hi, my name is Antoinette Wilson, you might not know me & I don't know you but I know
members of your family which is the Lowman & Miniano family. I go with Steve Lowman who
looks alot like your son. When I heard what happened to your son I thought it was the
most terrible thing that could happen to someone at such a young age. I just wanted you
to know & your whole family to know that my sympathy is with you & I am truly sorry for
what has happened to your son. I also wanted you to know that when I heard how he died
that it was the most brutal and crucial way for anyone to die. I agree with lots of
people who say that those guards deserve death penalties and so does the person who
commited the crime because there is no way that somebody didn't know what was going on.
I think alot of those people should suffer because I know if that was my son I wouldn't
want things to go down the way they went. But I just wanted to let you know that I am
here for your family in your time of need & that God will heal you in your
healing process. Also, know that now that Phil is in a better place now nothing or no
one can hurt him anymore then they already have. Even though he is gone his soul still
rests among you & that he will always be watching over your family right along with God.

Joyce Townsend 11-Feb-2005 11:36 AM -0500 Sorry for your loss. I too hope they get to the bottom of this and get things resolved. Maybe this will bring about the changes that need to be made in the system.
james parker (brother) 11-Feb-2005 11:33 AM -0500 I NEED ALL MY FAMILY TO STAY STRONG AND STAY STRONG FOR PHIL LIKE HE WOULD STAY STRONG FOR YOU LOVE YOU MOM LOVE YOU DAD LOVE YOU KENNY AND MOST OF ALL LOVE YOU PHIL HEY PHIL SEE YOU SOON NOW NOT THAT SOON WELL I LOVE YOU ALL THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE FOR MY FAMILY AND PHIL BECAUSE WE NEEDED IT ALOT AND MOMMY AND DADDY I PROMISE I WELL MAKE YOU PROUD OF ME OK LOVE YOU ALL P.S MOM I AM COMING HOME
MIKE TACKETT 11-Feb-2005 11:07 AM -0500 WHAT'S UP LIL'PHIL, LISTEN, I WANNA BRING YOU UP TO SPEED ON A COUPLE ISSUES. 1st, A GRAND JURY WILL HEAR THE CASE AND BALTIMORE COUNTY WILL PROSECUTE THE COWARD WHEN CHARGES GET FINALLY FILED. 2nd, THE DIVISION OF CORRECTIONS ARE SAYING THAT YOU WERE A "BLOOD" THIS IS CERTAINLY NOT TRUE AND I'M SURE YOUR MOMMY WILL LET IT BE KNOWN. PHIL, WHAT THEY ARE DOING NOW IS TRYING TO MINIMIZE,RATIONALIZE,AND PARALIZE YOUR REPUTATION IN THE SYSTEM. I'N SHORT, THEY'RE TRYING TO WIGGLE AROUND WHAT HAPPENED AND THAT IN SOME WAY SHAPE OR FORM IT WAS YOUR FAULT.THIS IS JUST HOW PETTY MARYLAND'S PENAL SYSTEM IS.THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH HEART TO STAND UP AND SAY (WE'RE SORRY) MARYLAND,SWEETHEART,I LOVED LIVING ON YOUR SOIL,BUT YOU HAVE A CORRUPT GOVERNMENT, YOUR JUDICIAL SYSTEM IS THAT ONLY OF A WAREHOUSE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY IT'S ONLY GETTING WORSE DAILEY. MARYLAND WHAT HAS THESE CORRUPT POLITICONS DONE TO YOU. WELL PHIL, WE'RE GOING TO LET THE DIVISION, GOVERNOR , ANYONE ELSE THAT MATTERS, THAT REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOUR REP. IN PRISON WAS YOU STILL ARE A HUMAN BEING, ONE THE STATE OF MARYLAND WAS SUPPOSE TO PROTECT UNTIL YOUR RELEASE DATE, ONE THAT WAS NOT A VIOLENT INMATE, ONE THAT LOVED HIS MOTHER AND FATHER HIS BROTHERS AND LIL' SISTER LIL'MS.FALLON PARKER AND YES ALL OF HIS FAMILY, AND YES,WE ALL WANTED HIM TO COME BACK HOME ALIVE. MARYLAND GOVERNMENT,ATLEAST SAY YOU ARE SORRY.PHIL, DON'T WORRY WHEN THEY SAY THINGS THOSE BALD ALLEGATIONS, THOSE NON-MERRITORIOUS CLAIMS, THOSE FRIVILOUS LIES, WE'LL SET THEM STRAIGHT.THE FACT IS THEY SCREWED UP PLAIN AND SIMPLE AND NOW THEY MUST PAY LARGELY. NOT ONLY WITH MARYLANDS CHECK BOOK, BUT WITH THE MERE THOUGHT THAT THEY TOO ARE MURDERERS NOW. THEY LET IT HAPPEN CAUSE THEY DIDN'T LIKE YOU WRONG FLAVOR DIG IT .LOVE YA,MIKE

I did not know Lil' Phils parents but i knew his cousins very well and i am
so sorry for your loss. The people who did this will suffer and justice will be
served! Phil was a cool boy and I feel for the family there like my own and i hope
eveything works out for you in the right way. Just remember Pops taking care of
him now and God must have had something more important for him to do and took him
this way. We might not understand it now, but something always happens for a reason
and we could never understand. We will all miss you Lil' Phil and Rest in Peace!!
Nancy Tribett 11-Feb-2005 06:31 AM -0500 I am truly sorry for your loss. This never should have happened. They claim that they had 5 guards and all inmates were shackled and in leg irons. Well how in the Hell can none of the guards hear something like that going on? Did they turn a deaf ear? The guards knew that he had testified against someone else, I feel that they should have given him protection. I pray that everyone that was involved in this situation is prosecuted to the fullest, especially the guards. My heart and prayers are with your family. God be with you, Nancy Tribett
marie george 10-Feb-2005 11:23 PM -0500 im so sorry for your loss. i just lost my brother to a inmate also in jail, i know there was more then one, my brother was stabbed 2 times, and i know how i feel as to this day, and im so sorry that you feel that same pain, as a sister who was the closest to him, i feel so left alone, only him as a sibling, it really takes a toll on me. i hope you get justice for your sons murder, but i think mine will take time cause noone seems to wanna confess to anything, my thing is this 1 guard was to watch 118 men, tell me why one guard, i am interested in getting lawyer as well but i felt i would let him rest for a while. i hope you get what is owed to you and your family, this man should pay dearly, for taking your son from you. he was a life, a young man, who had alot of life in him im sure. again im truley sorry, and may justice be brought to the person whom done this to him, rip phil

wait for the day we turn on the news and see that not only the one person thats responsible
for this gets what he deserves, but that everyone on that bus does also. they should
all be held accountable for this tragedy.you'll definitly be in our thoughts until that
time comes.

brittany wireman 10-Feb-2005 09:54 PM -0500 i didn't know him, i heard of his death from his brothers girlfriend, but im sorry for the family's loss. no matter what one does, murder is no punishment for one's actions. i'm very sorry for your loss, and hope everyone does well.
ANGELSOTR 10-Feb-2005 09:49 PM -0500 I feel so sorry for your loss and do so hope you find the ones behind this terrible crime, Such a loss takes so long to heal, but you will heal in time,I also have lost a loved one very close to me,and it has been 4 years now and it still hurts so very much, but as time goes on the healing process is alittle better.I sure hope you take this further,this needs to go more to the public,in the papers, bring out some ex-convicts hopefully they can tell more what goes on in this place,that people dont really know about,that we only see on tv.I have a family member thats been in there and said its like living in hell. What exactly is justice,is it just because we had someone that did something against the law and was put behind bars,and because of this thier life gets taken away,is this Justice,is Justice,the man that has the robe that sits on the bench in the day and says your going to prison for life,and goes home and beats his wife or child,or drives on drunk,or talks on a cell phone while driving,or runs a red light, or does something else against the law,or the cop or the prosecuter that also disobeys the law.like i've seen so many times,and read,like the cop that kills a child and gets off with 6months probation,this is Justice,??, but our children does something against the law and gets put in prison and something goes strangly wrong and they come home in a box,thats Justice?? WHAT THE HELL IS JUSTICE SOMEONE OUT THERE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS JUSTICE TO A CHILD.
lindalee bennett 10-Feb-2005 09:03 PM -0500 My heart goes out to you and your family. To lose a child is one of the greatest losses anyone can endure. May you find the peace you desire and be able to have the power to heal.
Niki :) 10-Feb-2005 06:54 PM -0500 I can"t even think of the pain that you are going through.. In our lifetime we are trained and taught to except and deal with death, so as we grow we already are preparing ourselfs for the deaths of our loved ones like our mother and fathers sisters and brothers, but never our children!!! There is not enough preparing in the world that could prepare you for this tragedy..... You know people always say time will heal a broken heart, but in this case I do not beleive so...Time will ease the pain, but your heart will never be unbroken! Well Melissa you know I am right down the street and if you need anything please dont hesitate to call or come down... I am here for you in anyway that I can be of assistance....
Juanita Scardina 10-Feb-2005 06:22 PM -0500 My friend I think of you everyday!! And I hope the good lord will heal your broken heart and grant you peace!!!!

MIKE TACKETT 10-Feb-2005 12:15 PM -0500 MISSY, I FEEL YOUR PAIN NO DOUBT. IT TRULY HITS HARD WHEN ITS ONE OF OUR OWN AND ESPECIALLY THE WAY THIS WENT DOWN. AND YOU CAN BANK ON ONE THING, I PERSONALLY WILL FIND JUSTICE FOR OUR LIL'PHIL.THIS WON'T EVER GO AWAY NOT IF I 'M ON IT TRUST ME. IT SEEMS THIS GOVERNOR WANTS TO IGNORE THIS SITUATION OR WORRY ABOUT HIS OWN DRAMA WITH THE MAYOR AND HE'LL DEAL ON HIS TIME HUH? WELL I GUESS WHEN THOSE TWO STOP PLAYIN'HIDE THE SAUSAGE WE CAN GET MORE ANSWERS.IT'S POLITICS MISSY, THOSE 'GOOD OLD BOY' ANTICS THEY TRY TO PLAY.IF YOU REMEMBER WHEN I WAS LIL'PHIL'S AGE, I WAS A POLITICAL PRISONER SENTENCED TO 25-NO PAROLE BECAUSE THE STATE LEGISLATURE SIGNED THOSE SILLY LAWS.I RODE THAT BLUEBIRD BACK AND FORTH 20 TIMES AND KNOW FIRST HAND HOW THOSE BUSES ARE HOW THE GUARDS SLEEP,SNORE,GET UP EAT DEY CHICKIN' AND DEN ACK LIKE DEY DOIN' DEY JOB.PLUS THEY EVEN HAVE THE STEREO PLAYING SO THEY CAN'T HEAR A DAMN THING FROM THE PRISONERS.SO LET'S ADD ALL THE FACTORS UP AND SLAM THE STATE.SO THERE WON'T BE ANOTHER HORRIBLE TRADGETY AND PAIN AND SUFFERING THAT A FAMILY HAS TO ENDURE. I FEEL THE GUARDS ARE MORE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS THEN THE ACTUAL PERPETRAITOR OR PERPETRAITORS. IN ANY EVENT BABE LET'S PREPARE TO GO DEEP AND LET THIS NATION FEEL OUR PAIN. THEY ARE SO QUICK TO HIT US WITH A CASE BUT YET SO SOFT TO ACKNOWLEDGE WHEN THEY DROP THE BALL AND I SAY NO TO THE SYSTEM. IT'S ONLY A WAREHOUSE A STATE MONEY MAKER. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT REHABILITATION OR AFTERCARE FOR INMATES.THAT'S WHY MARYLAND HAS THE HIGHEST RATED RECIDIVISM STATUS QUO IN THE NATION.THEY WELCOME YOUR ARRIVAL BACK INTO THE SYSTEM.PLAIN AND SIMPLE MARYLANDS JUDICIAL SYSTEM IS SCAREY. MISSY A NEWS CONFERENCE SHOULD BE HELD IN FRONT OF SUPERMAX A.S.A.P THE MORE MEDIA ATTENTION THE BETTER. IF NOT THE STATE WILL ACT LIKE IT ALWAYS DOES."WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE" APPLY PRESSURE TIL' THEM SO CALLED POLITI*********CONS POP. CALL WJZ T.V AND ARRANGE A NEWS CONFERENCE NOW. IF YOU WANT ME TO SPEAK CALL ME AND I'LL GAS MY JET OK. LOVE YA AND IF YOU WANT CALL ME IF I CAN DO SOMETHING OK. ALSO,IF ANYONE READS THIS AND HAS ANY INFO THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL, SEND YOUR EMAIL JUST AS I HAVE SENT THIS.PUT ADDING TO WHAT MIKE T. WROTE BLA-BLA-BLA. THIS IS REAL AND THESE PARENTS ARE VICTIMS AS WELL BIG PHIL IS ALSO HURTING TO THE POINT OF A EMOTIONAL NERVOUS BREAKDOWN. AND MISSY I PRAYED SO HARD FOR YOU TO NOT HAVE A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN PLEASE BE OK .I KNOW IT'S SO HARD. WELL,I'LL SIGN OFF NOW I LOVE YA AND LIL'PHIL,LOVE YA LIL'DOGG. ONE, MIKE TACKETT
Susan Romero (sue) 10-Feb-2005 11:34 AM -0500 It has taken me this long to post a message because for one I didn't know Philip personally. I am a friend of his Mother. I have stood back and watched this tragedy play out. All I know to be true is that this can never happen agian. How many times do we have to watch the news and see this stuff continue to happen to our childern before we all join hands and say Enough. They take our Children and say they are bad. We need to fix them and when something like this happens they pass the buck to the next person. No one can even talk to person who (reporters say) carried out this sick crime because his Lawyer said so. We need to let these Officials know we will not stop until every question has been asked and answered. We all stood together to say goodbye, Family, Friends, Strangers. Now I say we all stand together to say Enough. This is our City, we put these people in office and we can take them out. We have laid one too many Children to rest now. I guess you never really know until it hits you or someone you love. our System is broken! Melissa, since the first day I met you, you took me in as one of your friends. Not many people do that. I thank God for you, Bobbie and Mitzi. There's nothing I wouldn't do for you any of you. I only ask 1 thing from you and that is to stay strong. Together with your Family, Friends and even Strangers we will get the Justice you deserve for your Beautiful little boy.

Tina 09-Feb-2005 09:40 PM -0500 I did not know Philip personally, but I feel like I did. He did NOT deserve this! I too have had and still do have family and friends that are incarcerated, and I often worry about them. I am so sorry for your loss, and I will continue to pray for your family. I pray that justice will be served. I hope that whoever is responsible for this horrific crime will be severly punished, and also the guards that were supposed to be protecting Philip, they didn't do there job, and now they should pay. I am so upset and angry! RIP Phil

RIP Philip Junior We will always remember you, Love Always & Forever, Baby Girl Monica Angie, Justin, Jeremy, Josh
Billy May 09-Feb-2005 04:08 PM -0500 I did not know Philip, but I know how it is to lose a loved one. My prayers go out to the Parker family. For the punk that did this, I hope you rot in hell. I think that everyone that was on that bus deserves the death penalty, because there is no way someone can get murdered and no one saw anything, I would like to know who got paid off for this horrible crime. R.I.P. Philip
MIKE TACKETT 09-Feb-2005 12:34 PM -0500 MISSY, LET'S GET MIKEY OUT. ASK TO FILE A PETITION FOR CLEMENCY AND DEAL WITH IT DIRECTLY.IN MOST CASES THE GOVERNORS OFFICE WILL SEND IT TO THE PAROLR BOARD FOR REVIEW AND OF COURSE THEY DENY 99.9% BUT IF MIKE CAN GET THE GOV.

Amy Musgrove 09-Feb-2005 12:07 PM -0500 I just want to say its not fair what happened to Phillip. He grew up with my brother Kenny and I down Virginia at Mommom's trailer and here it's just hard to say goodbye he was like my little brother he taught me alot of things. But I know he is in a better place and he'll save a space for me when I get there but right now its just to hard to say goodbye. Phillip was always such a loving person he always gave me a hug when he seen me and always made me laugh. I know you had a tough life and I know you wanted to fix things for yourself. I love you lil bro. I love you Amy P.S. Missy remember I'm here if you need me and I promise things will get better with time. He's safe now with Aunt Ruth and Poppop they'll take good care of him I'm sure.

I'm 25 years old and I’m James Parker's Teacher.
James asked me to come to this site and I’ve learned a lot about him already.
I am sorry for your family's loss.
If there is anything I can do please let me know.
Sincerely,
Mr. Whalen
p.s. it hurts to read this page.
I pray that peace finds you and justice finds the perpetrators
Jennifer and Erik 09-Feb-2005 10:33 AM -0500 We are very upset and deeply sorry that this tragedy has happened. We will pray everyday that they will find out who ever did this and justice will be served and your family will be able to come to rest. I like to say to the state that if justice isn't served do they honestly think that people that are wanted out there are going to turn themselves in now. Hell no, especially after they all ready know that jail isn't the best place in the world but also knowing there's a possible chance of death. Forget it No body is going to want to turn themselves in now. What really blow's me away is that there was 5 security guards, obviously they weren't doing there job, so I hope every single one of them lose there Job. I'm sorry but sleeping is not what there suppose to be getting paid for!!! We shall pray every night and day that Philip E. Parker Jr will be able to rest in piece. ~Amen~
Dorothy Gnacyk 09-Feb-2005 10:15 AM -0500 This horrific act sickens me. There is NO EXCUSE for what happened to your son. Your family is in my prayers, may God Bless You All. Justice will be served for your son by keeping the public aware of whats going on, and having people held accountable for their actions, right down to the person that assigned seating on the bus. (So it won't be "swept under the rug". ) I hope you find peace within soon. Dorothy Gnacyk Stevensville, MD.
Michelle WIlliams 09-Feb-2005 09:56 AM -0500 I'm truely sorry about your loss. My mother is Donna Wagner and she told me about what happen. Again my thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I COULD NEVER EXPRESS HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS HORRIBLE SITUATION....MY DEEPEST
SYMPATHY GOES OUT TO THE INTIRE FAMILY. I TOO HAVE A SON IN PRISON,AND I KNOW ALL
TO WELL THE WAY THE SYSTEM WORKS...(OR RATHER, DOESN'T WORK) I, LIKE YOU HAD A SON
ON THAT BUS...AND I KNOW IT COULD HAVE BEEN HIM THAT WAS ATTACKED, AS HE HAS BEEN
ATTACKED IN SUPERMAX TOO. NOT BY INMATES BUT BY THE GUARDS...(OFCOURSE THEY PERFER
TO BE CALLED CORECTIONAL OFFICES) MY PRAYER IS FOR THE ONES INVOLVED BE BROUGHT TO
JUSTICE. JUST "LET GO AND LET GOD." IF THE CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS HAD DONE THERE JOB
WE WOULDN'T BE HERE, MORNING "PHIL." 5 CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS WERE ON THAT BUS ......
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT? I CAN'T. VIOLENT INMATES BELONG IN THE BACK OF THE VAN IN A
SMALL TYPE CAGE FOR THEIR PROTECTION AS WELL AS THE SAFETY OF THE OTHER INMATES AND
THE CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS..ALSO THE CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS NEED TO SLEEP AT HOME AND
COME TO WORK PREPARED TO DO THEIR JOB... THEY SHOULD BE FIRED AND CHARGED WITH
ACCESSORY TO MURDER.....AND IF INMATES ARE THERE FOR MURDER...THEY SHOULD BE
TRANSPORTED IN A SEPARATE VAN...CAR...WHATEVER....AND ANOTHER THING....WHY WAS "PHIL"
IN SUPERMAX? 3 YEARS DON'T QUALIFY HIM FOR THAT HELL HOLE...BUT AGAIN WE HAVE OUR
JUSTICE SYSTEM WORKING FOR US...MY SON'S SENTENCE DIDN'T QUALIFY HIM FOR SUPERMAX
EITHER...BUT HE GOT THE FULL TREATMENT PLAN WHILE THERE....AND WHAT GOES ON IN THERE
IN UNBELIEVIBLE.... IF INMATES TRAVELING ON THOSE VANS ARE MENTALLY IMPAIRED THEY
NEED TO GET MEDICAL ATTENTION......BUT HERE WE ARE AGAIN....BACK TO OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM.....
I TRIED TO GET HIS MOTHER AND CALLED THE FUNERAL DIRECTOR AND ASKED HIM TO GIVE
HER MY NAME AND NUMBER.I FELT A NEED TO SPEAK TO THE MOTHER..BUT I HAVEN'T GOT
A REPY AS YET..SO I THOUGHT I WOULD SEND AN EMAIL,TO TELL THE FAMILY THAT MY PRAYER
IS FOR THIS FAMILY TO GET THE JUSTICE THEY DESERVE.I KNOW TOO WELL HOW THEY WILL
TRY TO "SWEEP" IT UNDER THE RUG.GET YOURSELF A COMPETENT LAWYER ...AND ABOVE ALL
STAY ON TOP OF THE SYSTEM...GOD BLESS YOU ALL...MRS WALTERSScott D Davis

Kenny Smith(cousin) 08-Feb-2005 11:59 PM -0500 The first time i signed this guestbook i feel i didnt touch on some things i think i should have so first off Phil i want you to know that your missed down here and i love you. Right now im going through a hard time believing your gone and i can only imagine what your brothers are going through, me and Kenny talked about you the other day coming from the funeral and Kenny just isnt the same without you here and he made that clear to me. I know the rest of the family is really hurt by your death and they miss you just as much as i do. Phil growing up with you was sometimes more crazy than good but i dont regret any of the things weve ever done together. I hope the person who did this to you gets the punishment of punishments because he truely doesnt deserve to breathe right now. I just wish you could of had more time down here to show your true potential and grow into a great man with your own family. Phill i miss you, i love you and i cant wait to see you again in when its my time R.I.P. - your cuz Kenny P.S. - Kenny and Jamie i want both of you to know that im here for you too and you better keep in touch with your cousin and keep your head up becuz Phil wants to see you happy and proud to be who you are. Now i havent seen Mike since i was 10 but hes still my family i wish the best for him too i hope hes not going crazy in there. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP
Malita 08-Feb-2005 10:59 PM -0500 You know the more and more I see this about you on the news, it kills me inside. I know we always havent been so close since u have grown up, I wish I could have spent more time with u but, just because I wasn't around u alot doesn't mean I didnt love u, Mikey, Kenny, Jeffrey, or Jamie. What keeps going through my mind and breaks my heart is wondering what was going through your mind when u were being murdered! I wish I could get my hands around that bastards neck that did this to u and them guards! I know everyone probably feels so much GUILT.... wishing they could have done more for u and spent more time with u I am one of them but it just makes u realize life is too short u never know what u have until its gone, Well I am gonna go until we meet again I love u lil Phil,
Now u can be with Grandpa, Mamal, and Robbie...REST IN PEACE
Michelle 08-Feb-2005 10:25 PM -0500 Mellisa i am sorry to hear what happen i can't even imagine what you and your family is going through right now. I hope that justice is served for everyone involved.

Mike and Malane 08-Feb-2005 08:59 PM -0500 We will miss you Phil, you are truly one of a kind.(I remember when i would cut you loose in dunkin doughnuts on wilkens and you would run behind the counter and snatch all the doughnuts off the rack and eat as many as you could with chocolate running down your face, then i would chase you around the parking lot.)but the best one of all when you were about three,Keith Griffin was sleeping in your bed and you took a hammer and popped him on his forehead and said get out my bed Keith Griffin!!!!! and yesterday Keith and I laughed about that big bump he still has on his head from lil Phil.RIP lil Phil we love you you will never be forgotten.

Jeff and Crystal 08-Feb-2005 06:55 PM -0500 I wish I would have got to know my brother Phil because my girlfriend crystal knew him really good and she said he had a good heart he could make anyone smile on a bad day. mom if u read this I hope you are ok I love u and another thing my brother loved Corrie Meador a lot no matter what anyone thinks of her Phil only thought good things about her. i love my brother Phil and wish he could still be here and he could have started a good life and had kids like i did and be happy. Phil loved kids he would have made a good father well im going to Go rest in peace Phil love your brother Jeffer and his girlfriend Crystal.
Kayla 08-Feb-2005 06:49 PM -0500 i am very sorry this has happen to your son i may not know Phil but i feel for your family when i read the newspaper and i saw this in there my eyes begin to tear up how could anyone do this to your son and i hope the person that did do this to ur son gets caught and has the death sentence. My deepest regards to your family
Miranda 08-Feb-2005 04:31 PM -0500 Phil, although you are gone from this world, you are not gone from our minds or our hearts. We still love you, and that will never change. I enjoyed having you as my nextdoor neighbor for those years. You were very outgoing, and funny, and definitely didn't deserve this. Not a day goes by that I don't think about this incident. The person who did this to you is very sick and needs help. I looked at you and your brothers as if yous were my brothers, and although you're not here, I still do. I'll never forget about you Phil, and I hope your mom and dad seek justice. This is very unfair, but God wanted you for some reason that only he knows. We will mourn because you're gone, and our tears will shed, but only time can heal that pain, but always remember Phil, you'll always be in my heart, prayers, and thoughts.
Ashley Farson 08-Feb-2005 03:38 PM -0500 PHIL, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND YOU WILL BE MISSED GREATLY. BUT I KNOW THAT EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON. GOD NEEDED YOU IN HEAVEN. AND I ALSO KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN A BETTER PLACE. YOU CAN NOW REAST WITH NO WORRYS. I DO BELIVE IN REINCARNATION... SO HOPFULY WE WILL MEET AGAIN. I WILL BE LOOKING FOR YOU. YOUR PARENTS HAVE BEEN REALLY STRONG. AS WELL AS YOUR FAMILY.I KNOW THAT YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY WILL NOT REST UNTILL JUSTICE IS SERVED. THERE WERE ALOT OF MESTAKES THAT HAPPENED THE DAY OF YOUR DEATH. FOR ONE YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ON THE SAME BUS AS THE GUY YOU TESTIFED AGANST, TWO THE GARDS SHOULD HAVE BEEN ALERT. I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING FISHY GOING ON. THERE WERE ALOT OF PEOPLE ON THAT BUS AND NOT 1 OF THEM SEEN ANTTHING. NOW THATS NOT RIGHT. WE WILL NEVER FORGET ABOUT YOU. YOUR LIFE WAS NOT FAIR. YOU SHOUD NOT HAVE LEFT...AT LEASE NOT WITH OUT SAYING GOODBYE. SO SENCE I COULDNT SAY IT BEFORE. IM GONA SAY IT NOW...GOODBYE BRO...I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, AND I WILL NEVER EVER FORGET YOU. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART.
Jeanette Rose Wilt 08-Feb-2005 03:32 PM -0500 My Prayer is those who without conscious permitted my Great Nephew to be murdered when they could have prevented it and didn't, will be brought to justice and pay the full penalty of the law. My faith in the Justice System has been weakened over the years but I am truely hoping those in authority will go the last step to see those responsible will pay . Phillip was not the only one we lost to the Prison system of Maryland. I loved you Phillip! Your Aunt Rose.
carol harlow 08-Feb-2005 02:35 PM -0500 hi baby this is the only way i can talk to you now . so I hope others understand . Phil we love you so much and will miss you for ever but I promise we will take care of your baby brother James and Kenney and Jeff if they ever need me they can call and I'll be there .I know this is what you wanted for them . we all loved you and will help your mother the best we can we love her to .we want let you die for nothing we will have justice we love you baby R.N.P PS mike two just he wasn't your baby brother lol he was the big one who loved you
lorie 08-Feb-2005 02:26 PM -0500 I would like to send my deepest sympathy out to Philip Parkers family. This was a horrific crime and anybody that knows what happened should come forth. It just shows how screwed up our criminal justice is. There should be State Troopers on correctional buses. Not these low class correctional officers who care less about the inmates.

GB 08-Feb-2005 12:27 PM -0500 I am so sorry this happened to your son. Justice will be served and the ingrate who did this will be punished.
Scott 08-Feb-2005 12:27 PM -0500 Why aren't we hearing more about the guards and their accountabililty? An ex prison guard told me that this was clearly a "set-up", with the guards involved. Otherwise there is no way this could have occurred. Were they paid off? They should be held just as accountable as the perpetrator. They should be charged with conspiracy and murder.
dottie smith and family 08-Feb-2005 12:25 PM -0500 we are all very sorry for your loss it is terrible that it has come to this .we just pray something comes from all of this pain you are suffering may you find justice god bless you all.
Cheryl 08-Feb-2005 11:56 AM -0500 I am very sadden about what happen to Phil. I don't know your family personally, but I feel like I do. My prayers are with you!!!!
Stacie McElroy 08-Feb-2005 11:29 AM -0500 To the family: I don't know where to start. It is very hard to see something like this happen to anyone's child. Melissa, I cannot imagine your pain! I hope you do get justice for Phil so this will never happen to anyone elses child again! The angels have your baby, but I know you cannot rest until justice is served. We are all here for you and will fight with you until the end!
Emily 08-Feb-2005 10:36 AM -0500 i didn't know your son, but i read about it, and then saw a girl on the baltimore beltway on my way to class with a "justiceforphil.com" paper taped to her rear window. i just wanted to tell you that i'm keeping your family in my prayers, and god bless.

MAY JUSTICE BE SERVED AGAINST THE PERSON OR PERSONS THAT DID THIS TO YOUR SON. THEY SHOULD FACE THE SAME OR MAYBE WORSE DEMISE THAT YOUR SON DID. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
sandy fuller 08-Feb-2005 09:10 AM -0500 I hope that your family gets justice!! This was a terrible loss.
Lea R. 08-Feb-2005 08:33 AM -0500 From day one of this tragedy my heart has gone out to your entire family. Here was a young man who had almost completed his time for wrongs he may have done and was preparing to start with a clean slate. He did what he thought was right by testifying and it appears he is now paying the ultimate price. In my heart I know that God will hold him dear because he did not fear the person who killed. He is brave. I look at my son, who has just turned 20, and think it could have been you...My thoughts and prayers are with you all and as others I feel we, as the village, need to take a stand and make the bureaucrats answer for the idiots that they hire.
