Darla,
Please forgive me for not returning to be with you more, we were all sick. I heard that Kelly helped you through this horrible ordeal. I always knew that she was smarter than we were. That's what she was always smiling about. I miss her terribly, and I know you fill lost. Please call me to talk or go have lunch and we can remember the good times. I lost my mom and somedays it is hard to remember the good times because the recent memories of loosing them gets in the way. But when others remember the funny and good things it helps to bring me back to that good time. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. I will always remember her when I look at my baby Jamie and Santa Claus.
Love,

Darla, I pray that God will wrap his arms around you, carry you through this terrible time, comfort you and give you strength.
I have so many precious memories of Kelly...going to sleep on my stomach when she was little...all of the funny things she would do, and how we would laugh about it.
When I had to move, and left your house that morning...I remember crying so hard I could hardly see the road, all the way to Breckinridge County...I hated to leave you both so much.
She was blessed to have you, the world was blessed to have her...and I was blessed to have had the honor of being a part of your lives.
God Bless You. Love, Naomia

Darla,
i am so sorry to hear about Kelly! She was such a joy to work with. I will never forget her love of jewelry. She was always just dripping with rings, necklaces, and even a tiara as a young girl! She loved to wave to people, and she had a beautiful smile.
