Guest Book

I remember when Deborah and I were kids.We would always seem to spend Sunday afternoon at Grandma and Grandpa Wells house, The whole family was usually there. I had my first bike and there was a hill behind grandma's kitchen steps that we were told to stay away from. I Groton the bike and Deborah climbed on too and we took off down that hill together heading straight for grandpa's hog pen. We didn't have brakes ! We hollered and laughed and our moms and families came running. We ended up getting scared up and Debra cried enough to get the aunts and moms to not give us our deserved whoopin. It's was Awesome and Deborah and I talked about it and laughed every time we got together !! Even when we were at Winston Salem State univ together. I'll never forget Deborah. Love you Debra Pat
