In memory of Phillip Conklin, who died at the young age of 18. He died April 13, 2002. He and his friend were online trying to find a homemade recipe for ecstasy. They succeeded in finding one and decided to try it out. Phillip took too much and was found to late. He got rushed to the hospital and the Doctors said that he was officially brain-dead. It was hard for my friend (Jessy) and I to realize that he was basically dead. The Doctors ran some tests to see if he had any brain activity, but he didn't. Phillip was to young to die. He shouldn't have... he still had a whole lifetime ahead of him. He was so nice and caring. He had a great sense of humor and he was really cute. If he knew that the drug was to strong maybe he'd still be here. So in honor of Phillip I want to help prevent any other teens from doing something like this. "Phillip- I didn't really know you well, but wha t I did know of you I liked. You were Jessy's idol. I miss you and hope you are having fun in Heaven!! ~Love and miss you! Kira and Jessy"

Remembered by Trisha Lynn, "Kyle got hit by a train. Some people say it was suicide but I don't think so. He had a lot going for him. He could have made it to be a rap singer. I think Kyle loved life. He took it to the fullest. If one of his friends was in trouble he would always be there to back them up. But I guess it is time to say "Goodbye". You will always be in my heart. Don't worry about your brother, he is in good hands."

I remember always hanging out in front of my grandmas house playing dolls, selling lemonade, and having our birthday parties a month early. LOL. that was always amazing. When I stopped going to my grandmas every summer, I didn't see you that much. I still came there at least once a school break to hang out with you, but when you started driving.
