Carolyn & Family, You are all in my prayers today and always. I was sorry to hear of your mothers passing and when I remember your mother, I remember her love of family. You were all so dear to her. I'm so sorry I can't be with you today at graveside to honor your Mother. I succumbed to a winter head cold and am still going through it. Please know that I am with you in spirit and thinking of you all during this time. Much love, Kelly Ross
