My heart goes out to my Aunt Donna and my cousins Midge and Mike! His son, Jamie and Rusty and all of the other kids and nieces and nephews. This comes at a really hard time of the year, and I’m really praying for everyone… for peace and comfort. Even though we’ve always lived far away, I remember when we were little and we all used to play together…. I remember always wanting to come to Aunt Donna and Uncle Bud’s house so i could see Midge and Buddy! He will be greatly missed by all! Especially his comedic ways of always making someone laugh….rest in peace, dear cousin, until we meet again one day…… Hugs and kisses to all. My dad is coming to represent our family, unfortunately because of the distance,us kids aren’t able to make it, but you are all in hearts and prayers. Much love to our family in West Plains!

May god bless all of you who are suffering from the loss of our lil stinker “Stoney”. He was a great guy and could always make us laugh. I have very fond memories of him and so do many others. I am sending prayers to the Phelps family, for they need gods guidance and comfort. The only thing that brings a smile to my face is that heaven got them a angel that will bring some comedy to heaven=)
