Kelly made me always smile and laugh and I am blessed she became my friend. Her stories of her family always said how precious you were to her life.
I worked for a local contractor and that´s how we met, very hard worker. Faith based, loved God, generous, and so kind.
I am sad to learn Kelly passed, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
