Condolences
The Phelps Family,
We were unable to come to support our family during this difficult event. We know that Grandpa is resting awaiting the day when Jesus will resurrect him into paradise earth. Until then, we pray that all of us remain faithful ’til the end.
You're in our prayers.
We send our Love,

Great-Grandpa Phelps was a wonderful man. Only a few memories come to mind about getting to know him. But I will continue to cherish those moments. And will always look forward to the time when we will get to see him as well as other family members again, thanks to our heavenly father Jehovah. My respects go to all of those in the family, especially those that were closest to Great grandpa Phelps.
Much love.
