Kevin and Kelly I’m so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. I think of your dad often and I wish both of you comfort during this sad time.
Kevin and Kelly, you are both in our thoughts and prayers. I hope a long lifetime of beautiful memories can console you both during this difficult time. I am smiling now, thinking of one of our weekend road trips to your parents home from LeMoyne. It snowed overnight, the next morning we had to go walk Moses in the snow. He made an interesting snow print in the fresh snow down the street. We told your mom and she was in tears😎.
Beautiful woman with an even more beautiful heart ❤️
Kevin, I’m sure your mother was wonderful! No matter how old we get, it’s always difficult losing a parent. Sending all of your family our deepest condolences. May your mom be at rest.
