Jim, Erika and Wendy,
I am so sorry to hear of Kelly's passing. My fondest memory is of Kelly and mom laying out in their bikinis in our front yard while we all played. Tim and I will keep you all in our prayers. Sorry we missed seeing you at the service - We were out of town. Debbie

I remember her smile mostly. She was lovely. Even though I hadn't seen her for a long time I do remember her laughter. Thinking of you and yours, K. C.
