Phillip was a man after God's own heart who had
a love for children. He was a foster parent.
Phillip decided some years ago that
instead of flowers, he wanted bicycles at
his funeral. “Bicycles will put a smile on a
foster child’s face for a lot longer than
flowers will do anybody any good.”
Over 100 bicycles lined the church at his
funeral and many more continued to
come in as the days & months followed.
His wife, Joette, along with The Vick Family,
continue the ministry
of caring for these children and have
delivered hundreds of Phillips bicycles to
hurting foster children all over the state
of Alabama, and some even into
Tennessee. To this date, well over a thousand
bicycles have been given through this ministry.
