Dear Marcie, and Family,
I just wanted you to know how much Aunt Pat meant to me. All the things that she was able to bring into my life and sense of humor about life. When able to get together we had a very special bond which I will greatly miss. She'll be a guardian from above.
Sending my love, so sorry not able to come to AZ for the services, but I want you to know I love and miss you.
Lots of Love,
Debbie Banner Pyper

Dear Marcie, and Pat's family,

I was saddened to hear of Pat's passing. We are blessed to have known her.

My father was Uncle Wilford's youngest brother, George. I have fond memories of our family reunions, and visiting Uncle Wilford and Aunt Isabel.

We will all miss Pat, for now, but are comforted knowing she is with her loved ones who have returned "home".

With Love and Heartfelt Sympathy,

Vickie (Phelps) West

Please accept our condolances for your loss. You don't know us, but we may be Phelps relatives. My great grandfather was Hyrum Smith Phelps. The reason I am intruding on you at this time, is that I have a picture that may be of your mother. I was given the picture by a relative years ago, who asked that I try and find the family to whom it belongs. The picture bears a resemblance to your mother, but at a very young age. However, the inscription on the back is signed "Peggy LaVon Phelps." If you would like me to email you a copy of the picture, you can decide whether or not it is your mother. My email is: [email protected].

Best wishes to you for comfort and solace at this difficult time.

-- Stephen and Carolei Phelps
