    Kelly, so very sorry for the loss of your precious momma. I know all to well the pain that feels your heart & I pray the lord will help you find peace & comfort.
    The obituary mentioned her being full of sass I so remember that. She always made me laugh, she knew how to get a grip on teenagers without causing any melt downs.
    I will continue to pray for you and the family as you face the difficult days ahead, remember to lean on your friends and trust in the Lord! We love you
