The world lost the best man ever on June 13th, they don't make them like him anymore, He was kind, considerate never a rude or curse word, always a smile, gentle loving, and never heard him say anything negative. He served our country proudly in the USAF for 20+ years.
He loved the Lord Jesus and was baptized. He spoiled me, he loved me, anything I wanted was ok. This was my husband, Lyle Phelps.
I Love you, sweetheart I miss you so much, we will meet again..😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
