Steve and Vicky, I just saw this heartbreaking news online and can't imagine your pain. I didn't know Kerry, but I know she must have been an awesome lady just because she was brought up by awesome parents. I pray that God gives you the strength to live on and let the joyful memories of Kerry warm your heart and know that that's where she will always be - in your heart!!! God bless you both!!
