Mrs. Kelly made many, many baby pillows for me, my friends and my family over the years. She was a wonderful lady and she will be missed.

I want to extend my deepest sympathy in the loss of your Mother. Ardell and I had some good times together when we were growing up. She will be greatly missed.

Bev and family, I am so saddened to hear of Ardell's passing. She has been my "pillow lady" for 26 years (I think about 100 of them!) and I loved visiting with she and Keith each time I stopped by their house. She was quick to laugh and she was so proud of her children and grandchildren!
