Miss Kaley, about 4 years old, came bouncing in one day and said “Grannie, I know where Heaven is” I asked,”Oh Miss Kaley, where do you think Heaven is.” she replied ” Just on another planet” . I asked, ” who told you that”, She said , “My Primary Teacher at chruch. That made Heaven real to me. We will all miss this fine young man and keep him in our hearts. Love you , God Bless

  5. To Melissa, Ally, Lindsay and the Cossar family,

    I am sending my deepest condolences to you all. Phil and your family have meant so much to Glooscap Elementary School over the years. We thank you all for your support. I will always remember Phil as a problem solver who liked to have a good time even while at work. He loved our youth and staff like family and treated them that way.

    He has left this world too early. May you find comfort in remembering the wonderful adventures and memories you have created together. You are always welcomed to visit us in Canning.

    God bless

    Lorne Guy and the staff at Glooscap Elementary School.
