May you all find peace in the many fond memories you shared together for so many years. Kelley, I remember hanging out in the back room of your grandparents home and listening to stories told by both of your grandparents. As well as, a golf tournament they took us too. You are truly blessed to have such a wonderful extended family. PS. My mom is still living on Mark Drive. ]

In Peace, Deborah Mullally-Amador
