    Mrs. Wells, Lisa, Steve, Kathy and Chris I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Wells. I don't think I have to tell you what your family means to me you all are truly my second family. I remember so many good times we had from the Hickory House days, staying at your house and the state fair trip. I also remember him getting upset with me when I ran my bike into his dodge, whew not good. So many memories. I always thought the world of him and so thankful you all became such good friends. Remember I'm just a call away if you need anything. May God give you strength through this difficult time. My prayers are with you all.
