Becky, Donna, Aunt Mary and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. I have so many fond memories of Uncle Wells, especially the days of spending time at the trailer in the country so many years ago. Uncle Wells always was a joy to talk to with wonderful words of wisdom. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
