I met you at the beginning of your battle and learned many things from you. I enjoyed your wit, love of life and the courage you fought so hard with thru all these years. Your anger, tears and smile was who you were. I love your mother and am glad I had an opportunity to meet her. A warrior with honor. That you shared so much with. I wish you peace Kelly. And now you are without pain or fear. See you on the other side girlie, and I'll be wearing my beads.
