Pat, I still fondly remember the day I had the authentic "Indian" meal with an Indian friend of Charlene's at Charlene's home in Takoma Park. Charlene was always the diplomat & could make anyone feel at home. God bless her, Fondly-Jeannette Conlon Mickey, McKinney,TX

To the entire Phelps family, I wanted to express my deepest sympathies on your loss. She was a very brave woman. Though I have never met her I did ask about her all the time. I would ask Kevin, "How is Mom" so she seemed like a part of my family as well. I hope the coming days are not too difficult and I know I will think of her often.
