In Memory of Phillip Craig DeMars

In 2005, my son Phillip was diagnosed with Stage IV Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma , a rare form of Soft Tissue Sarcoma. 

After 4 years of fighting, my son Phillip's body could no longer house his beautiful soul.

He has gone to rest. He will return.

“LOVE is what we all have in common, give it freely, accept it gratefully, and with grace, share it with one another”

PCD 2009 

 

My only son, Phillip Craig DeMars spent 23 years on this planet. He touched many hearts during his few years. Especially the last 4 and the last week of his young life. He died peacefully on Sunday , May 31 , 2009 at 8p.m.  Mine were the arms that held him the moment he came into the world and mine were the arms that held him when he departed and went on to his soul's next adventure.

 

He said to me on the morning of May 31, 2009.

“Momma, I want to be one with you, forever”

My son will always be one with me.

He will always be my one and only Phillip.

 

He taught me about life, he raised me. I spent my entire adult life being his mom. He was a wonderful baby, so full of joy. He was a bright child, always curious and inventive. He was a strong and fun teenager.

He was a noble and courageous young man.

 He was a loving and beautiful son.

 

We spoke freely of many things, as always and this last week was the hardest week and yet the most precious time for us. We went through every detail of what he wanted and I promised him that I would honor his wishes.

He wanted to have a memorial service at the Self Realization Fellowship. He wanted all that knew him and knew of him through me, to meditate for 11 minutes at 11:11 in his honor. He wanted to thank every single person that had supported his fight all these years by giving them a chance to feel the deep love he had inside his heart. He asked me to tell everyone in attendance to think of the 3 people they love the most, meditate on those people, feel that deep feeling of LOVE and take that feeling and share it with everyone in life.   Strangers, friends, acquaintances, enemies, lovers, family, everyone!

 

Being an aspiring chef, one of Phillip’s hardest challenges during the last 2 years of his illness, was that he was not able to eat. So he asked me to please ask all of you to honor him by enjoying your next meal to the fullest. He asked for everyone to be “mindful” while eating. Mindful of the taste, the flavors, the way it feels to chew,   the nourishment food gives to our bodies, and be grateful of the act of eating. He asked me to let everyone know that this was his way of saying “Thank You” to everyone that helped us, that loved us, that supported us.

 

My son said his destiny in life was to teach love. He taught me what it is to truly love someone. In the beginning he brought me an innocent and unconditional love, throughout our life together, he taught me the duality of love and in the end, through his strength, he showed me the power of the purest love that I have ever known.

 

That is the love that he wanted to share with you... with the world.

 

Thank you for all of your support throughout these last 4 years.

All the Love & Light,

 

Rebekah Del Rio

Phillip's Mom

INFORMATION

Since my son's diagnosis in late May of 2005, I have committed myself to exhaustive searching, seeking out, and trying to find all and any ways to help my son live a quality life, for however long that will be.  I have put countless hours into this site so that people may find a wealth of information in one place.  I hope that you find this site useful and I wish you all the blessings of Shalom.

 

"The prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the normal oxygen respiration of body cells by an anaerobic cell respiration." -- Otto Warburg

That is only the beginning.

The cell takes in glucose (sugar; cancer loves sugar) and gives off lactic acid which creates an acidic environment. Again, this is something that has been known for years. Cancer needs an acidic environment to flourish, and conversely, cannot survive in a balanced alkaline environment.

 

For more information and/or for someone you know that has Cancer, please take a moment to look at the various LINKS we have discovered for Cancer medical care, alternative therapies, & spiritual methods. 

We believe no stone should be left unturned!

Positive thinking really works!
