You were my first best friend. I loved nothing more than spending the night with you and getting up in the morning to eating peanut butter and pancakes. There was never a moment that I didn't trust in you. Even when I had to go and pick my own switch. I knew I would be OK. I loved it when you gave me chores to do.. The result would always be 26 cents and a walk to the corner store. 1 snickers and 5 pieces of bubble gum was what I got with my 26 cents. I thought I was sneaking into the blackberries but you always knew. I guess purple hands and lips pretty much gave it away. I loved sitting and watching the wild Kingdom on Sundays. At least until that lion came in the front yard after me. It took yall about 30 minutes to convince me that it was a chow and not a lion. I have so many precious memories that I will carry with me always. I love you and will miss you Memaw. Wendy
