I met Kelly through my daughter Michelle, last year.
Kelly and I spoke only once over a phone call, and she was such an inspiration, and joyful person to talk with.
Kelly clearly had a great Love and relationship with the Lord, a strong woman of Faith in Christ.
Kelly wanted to help my daughter, and she and Dr. Malone, wrote a very special letter of support for Michelle, in an effort to help her.
They are both very loving , kind , and giving people.
We have the greatest respect for them and their family, and deeply, appreciate all their love, care, and kindness.
Michelle and I, just recently heard this news about Kelly, and we are so very sad.
Our prayers go out to Dr. Malone,and all their children. Kelly's dear family will remain in our prayers.
She is with Our Lord now,and is truely missed.
Our deepest heart felt sympathy for the family .

My God comfort and keep you....
