Kelly,
I was sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. I know she suffered and fought a long battle of illness, and I know you will miss her terribly. My thoughts and prayers are with you. If I can do anything for you, please do not hesitate to call me. I am just a phone call away. Love, Linda.
Kelly,
I was saddened to hear about your mom passing away. Even though she had been sick for a long time, it is still very hard to loose someone very special. Your mom was always very good to me, she would always stop to talk when I was in the front yard. We would always catch up on what was going on in the families. She will always be missed. You are my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Love, Anne.
Kellie,
Your mother was a wonderful person. She was strong and independent and a woman of great courage. I know she passed all those traits to you, as you are just like her in many ways. ‘Puggie’ will be greatly missed by all.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Love Always,
Your friend,
Donna

Dear Kellie,
So sorry to learn of your Mom’s death. We were classmates at Enka and how well I remember what a terrific athlete she was. She was a champ and was sweet and kind to everyone. We will miss her. God bless you and your family.

Kellie,
I don’t know if you remember us but we square danced with your Mom and Mr. & Mrs. Peebles. That was some of the best times of our lives! We sure had fun and I am thankful for the opportunity to have known her. She was so much fun and we enjoyed her company. Joann was a very special person! Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Puggy and I graduated together at Enka High. She represented our school as a fantastic basketball player. My heart goes out to her family and close friends.
