I served in the Army with your son, Tom, back in the 1970's. He is an exceptional man & soldier. I'm very sorry to learn of your Mom's passing, Top.

My mom(Barbara Carrico Kelty) thought the world of Aunt Wilby, as I knew her. She was always telling me stories about the two of them when they were little girls when Wilby would spend the night at my grandmothers. My thoughts and prayers to all of you. She was an amazing woman.
