Mary and family, I would like to offer you my condolences on the passing of your Mom. She was a very “special” lady, an excellent teacher and a very good friend. There will never be another “Mrs. Kelly”. Keep all your memories of her and she will always remain in your heart. She earned her special “Angel Wings” while here on earth and it&&single&&s nice to know that she is in heaven and looking out for us. Just take each day as it comes and the pain of losing your mom who was so special will not hurt as much.
All the best and take care…………..Barb
