"So terribly sorry to hear of Kelly's unexpected passing, she was a gem, got to meet her and talk with you both at our house on several different occasions, she was a very smart and beautiful lady and as you say, very kind and caring, I cannot imagine your pain, but we do have the reassurance if we know Jesus as our savior we will be reunited with our loved ones someday and sometimes that day can't come any too soon, Know that we care about you and love you and will be praying for you all."
