I always knew Helen Phelps as Zara's grandmother and my grandmother's dear friend. I was Zara's college roommate and teammate and got to know Mrs. Phelps when she would come to visit Richmond and support Zara when she would come to our games. She always had a smile on her face and was so happy to be with her family. It was really neat for me to hear all these stories about Mrs. Phelps from her friends and family because I have realized how many of her traits she passed on to my best friend Zara - her passion to learn, the importance of education, her faith and goal to spread God's Word. And even as one member stated her mischeviousness, she will always be remembered.
