Brett and Kelly, Tim and I are so sad to read this news. She has indeed left a beautiful inprint on this world, just by the two of you. Knowing the two of you, she had to be wonderful, to raise a son like Brett to choose a special forever partner as he did in you, Kelly. Our prayers will be with your family now and in the weeks to come. Find peace in Gods loving arms.
