Mike and Holly,
Please accept our sympathies on the death of Phelps. Although we did not know him too well, we sure remember the Nascar races that we all attended with the old gang of The Central Virginia Mustang Club. Phelps drove to us all to one of the races and had to turn around because I left our tickets at home. May God Bless You Today and Always. Cheryl Kean McDaniel and Kevin, Kendahl and Dalton Kean

We are truly sorry to lose such a club member as Phelps. We did not know him well, but we know that many of the other club members did, and we know that all of us are saddened by his loss to both our club and his family. Our sincerest condolences to all.
