My heart goes out to you and your family at this time of sorrow I pray in accord with others that the LORD gives you peace and comfort.
in your time of sorrow.
WHEN I FEEL HURT OR BROKENHEARTED GOD BINDS UP MY WOUNDS AND CURES MY PAIN AND SORROW.-PSALM 147:3
 I do not believe anything in this life is a coincidence.  God put the Kellys and us as neighbors in the same neighborhood for a reason.  You never know when you will be blessing that person, and We as niegbors of Mrs. kelly were truly Blessed..
