Rocky thanks for your concern and remembering Kelly. Kelly is now at home with my folks in Jal. Kelly has been courageously been fighting a brain tumor (medula blastoma) for almost two years. It looks as thoughthe fight is nearly over. Kelly is incapacitated and on good days can whisper a couple words. Her mental function seems to be near normal which makes it tough for her since she knows the score. My parents and I were discussing that one of the most positive things that came of this was taking Kelly back to Jal. People there genuinely care and have been bringing over food and visiting since her arrival. For instance Ara Dee Ledingham (don't know her new last name) stopped by to visit as if she were a family member. I want to express for Kelly, my folks and me how much we truly appreciate all of you. This is a tough time and all the support has been wonderful. I thank God that there are places like Jal and people of such outstanding character as those in and from Jal. We thank all of you. We doubt that Kelly will hold on much longer. It is important to mention that Hospice has been a tremendous help for Kelly and my parents. When the time comes my folks have asked that donations be made to Hospice in Kelly's memory instead of flowers at the service. Kelly has a 17 year old son, Clayton who is currently living with his Dad in Farmington. I also want you all to know I would have made the 200 reunion had I not been fighting fires in Idaho at the time. God bless.
