To Melcine's girls and the entire Kelley family, my prayers and thoughts are with you all. Melcine was so considerate and thoughtful as she always called my mom, Beulah Taylor and sent her cards on holidays. I speak for my mom in saying she really, really appreciated that. Your mom/sister/grandma was a good person. God continue to bless you and give you comfort.
