Alka Opal Phelps

Hi Nan, I just wanted to say Happy Easter. It has been a few years since I have been able to say those words to you, and i do truley miss you. I think in the last few years i have missed you more than ever. I dont know why but i truly do think about you everyday. I wish i could have had the chance to spend as much time with you as the others but i guess since i was the last grandchild born than that really wasnt possible. Even though i do truly miss you being here i do have all of the...

Here it is, a new year. 2006! I can hardly believe it! I look back upon the times we've shared and I am able to brush the tears aside to let the memories fill my heart with warmth and love. I still miss you, Nan, and know that I always will. You were such a big part of my life and I am grateful for the time we had together. I am a better person having known you. I talk to the family and hear of great occasions-births, weddings and get togethers, and know how proud you were of all of your...

My Nan, how do I express what she meant to me . She was my example of how a mother,a wife,a friend,and one day how a grandmother should be.She was so special to me,that's one reason why my oldest is named after Toy,her daddy that she loved so dearly.I loved her dearly, for everything she had done for me, like when Nan saved my butt(more than a couple times) .I remember when I was about 8 yrs old and I did something stupid, my dad told me when he got home he was going to whip my butt and I was...

My mother in law - Nan to me.
I was truly blessed to have been a part of Nan & Pop's family for so many years...I can't hardly speak of her, without speaking of speaking of them together...They were Nan & POP to me for well over 30 years....They were both people who truly made a difference in this world...two kinder,caring,giving, more gentle people, I have never know. Nan was like a mother to me, as she was to so many others. As I sit here writing this, I can't hold back the feelings,...

What a gracious woman she was. Living across the street on Farm Road from Carl and Opal Phelps I often found myself sitting on their front porch just talking. I was always given a warm greeting and as an awkward teenager that was a comforting thing. I remember a conversation with Mrs. Phelps once. I suffered with acne and it was heartbreaking at times. She told me that it would be a very temporary thing and that beauty on the inside was much more important. Mrs. Phelps was beautiful on the...

For many years the Phelps family were like a 2nd family to me. I was blessed to know both Carl and Opal and the kids for 37 years now. The last time I was honored to spend time with Mrs Phelps we laughed and remembered the times of my foolish youth. As I was getting ready to leave I said," Mrs Phelps-if I never see you again down here I will see you up there" she said she would look for me. I look forward to seeing her,Carl, and Rick on the other side. God grant the Phelps family his grace...

What a special person she was!! It didn't matter where we went, it was an EVENT!! Nan loved KMart, the Dollar Store, China King, Cool Cone (or anywhere for an ice cream!) We'd go to Fire Mountain Steak House and eat dessert first!! I could not have found a better friend and thank God for bringing us together! To the family: I'm always just a few doors down if you need anything! Farm Road will always have a place for the Phelps'. Let the memories bring a smile to your face and a chuckle to...
