Praying that God's peace, presence and love will surround each of you, Kelly's beloved family. Although I knew her only briefly, when she visited us at our Bible study at her mom's & Aunt Jane's, it was easy to see Kelly was a woman who loved life & her family fiercely. What a treasure of beautiful heart memories she has given you all! Hugs & prayers for God to hold you close.
