I first heard from Phyllis Vrettos in the summer of 2009.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0During that same time period I also heard from, for the first\u00a0time,\u00a0Bruce Steadman and Carl Tapp.\u00a0 I don’t remember whether it was Bruce, Carl or Phyllis who I first heard from but I do remember that it was during the same June-July of summer 2009.<\/span><\/p>\n

The other day I learned that Phyllis died after I read a comment posted by Carl here on the blog.\u00a0\u00a0 It was difficult for me to accept that Phyllis had passed away.\u00a0\u00a0I got online to see if there was some way that this could be explained as some sort of mitsake or if it was a different person with the same, or similar, name.\u00a0\u00a0 Shorty thereafter I found the following: E.J. Fielding Funeral Home <\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span>obituary <\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>for Phyllis Rose Vrettos<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u00a0feel sorrowful and unhappy\u00a0and I was, and still am a little, in shock. I’ve had some family members pass and for some reason, I don\u2019t know why, it never really affected me. But when a friend dies it puts me into a sad state of mind and it feels somewhat surreal.<\/span><\/p>\n

I remember that Phyllis was witty and worked online sometimes around the clock in eligibility circles getting the word out regarding Barack Obama’s ineligibility to hold Office of President of the United States of America.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0It\u00a0should be noted here for honorable record that Phyllis once saved my life when she purchased an airline ticket for me for travel from the\u00a0Commonwealth of Puerto Rico to Chicago, Illinois.<\/span><\/p>\n

I must also now tell the world that my friend Phyllis was in physical possession of Barack Obama’s tangible and certified Kenyan birth certificate for several months (October 2011 thru June 2012).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I know that this is a very strange coincidence but she only returned the birth certificate to me approximately three (3) weeks before her death.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The return was made at my request, on May 27, 2012, although the said request wasn’t sent out until June 11th, 2012\u00a0and and not received by Phyllis until June 13th, 2012:<\/span><\/p>\n

My decision to entrust Phyllis with the birth certificate was made hastily and suddenly when I fled the country (USA) in October, 2011.\u00a0 Moreover, it was never my intent for the birth certificate to remain in Phyllis’\u00a0custody\u00a0for such a prolonged period of time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rather than writing an account of these events\u00a0I present to you\u00a0the following windy letter\u00a0to Phyllis from myself, also a\u00a0letter from Phyllis to me and lastly a letter from Phyllis to her son.\u00a0\u00a0 The very last embedded letter <\/span>(undated but written at some point in very late 2011 or early 2012) from Phyllis to her\u00a0son closes with, “<\/span>Most likely, what I have written is for naught and you will never see this, but just case…this matter is too important not to write this out.<\/span><\/em><\/strong>”\u00a0\u00a0In context with the letter that does not sound\u00a0like a women who knows, or suspects, that she will die soon.
