Love, Love to such a SPECIAL Soul. The very first time I ever saw you, you were two years old standing in the hallway at the Wheatley's. Vicki had you dressed so preciously in navy shorts, white shirt & white knee socks~~what a little Dollbaby you were! You grew into such a caring, loving, sensitive man. You will ALWAYS have a very SPECIAL place in my heart. Love & BLessings to all of the Wheatley & Flemming families.
