"What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.
"
In loving memory of
Travis Phelps
August 10, 1976 - April 21, 2009
He is survived by his mother, Tessy Lemke of Heron Lake; father, David Phelps of Grand Rapids; one brother, Jeremy Phelps and his wife, Pamela, of Cottage Grove; one sister, Tammy Bell and her fiancé, Todd Wirkkala, of Morristown; and one niece and one nephew.
