I am one of the first children she ever kept... I am blessed to say that I knew this kind, loving woman... She was a big part of my growing up and she will be dearly missed by my family and me... She always tried to teach me right from wrong and lead me into the right pathway in life... Well Ms Kelley, I think you did a really good job... I'm right in the path that was chosen for me! Love you dearly! Mel
