Debbie Fleetwood: Spent her childhood summers with Grandma & Grandpa Fleetwood. They owned a farm outside of Columbia, Missouri. Debbie loved those summers; planting & harvesting food from the kitchen garden, petting the farm animals, & just being in that quiet nature-filled environment. Now, when working in her garden she built, she feels Grandpa Fleetwood looking over her shoulder sometimes, as if to say; “You were meant for this!”
