Willis Family

Judy's birthday and I went to see her but she wasn't home.  After keeping the trailer company all day I finally drove over to Judy's where I was supposed to meet Loye, but Judy wasn't home so I drove on over to where Loye was working but he wasn't there either so I came on back to the trailer to wait.  Loye finally came about 8 O'clock and we went over to  "The Bonanza" and ate a steak.

I did write a poem for Neva's daughter Kristen to give at Deron's missionary farewell.

Maybe you wonder

Why I'm up here?

It's cause I'm Deron's only sister

But I'm filled with fear.

When I was born

Deron was 12 years old

And he was real happy

Or, so I'm told.

There were lots of folks

In Taylor he had to call

Aunts and Uncles and cousins

'N Grandpa and Grandma Hall.

I'll tell you a secret

If you will only listen

If Deron would've been a girl

His name would be Kristen.

If Deron had of been a girl

Not that I'm really care'n

And if I had been a boy

Would they have called me Deron?

For Deron 3 wheeling

Was really great

Sometimes he'd take me

I could hardly wait.

When we'd get back

We ate some of Deron's favorite food

Chocolate chip cookies, crunch-berries

Or Apple Jacks are good.

Every summer when

Deron wanted to roam

He would go to Taylor

His second home.

There he'd be happy

With Grandpa and Grandma Hall

He worked hard all day

And in the evening he'd play ball.

While you are gone Deron

You can't baptize me!

If you baptized some one else

How happy I'll be.

When you come home again

Everything will be fine

I won't be so little

I'll be older - I'll be nine.
