Mary, we are so sad to learn of your daughter’s death. Please know that you and her family are in our prayers. May God bless you all and sustain you during this difficult time and always.

She was my beloved redheaded echo, but so much more because she had learned to find peace in God’s presence in her life & skills I never possessed that I so admired such as patience, selflessness, generosity, gentleness, extreme kindness & more. She’s left her indelible mark in my heart that I’ll never lose to bandage the grief I have by losing my dear sister. I rejoice in her new body, reunion with Daddy & Gene, & especially her inherited glory. Hallelujah for you Allyson. See you again later.
Your adoring big sis, Kelly
