Dianne Kelly Dorothy, I have often wondered where you were. I am sad that the way I find out is with the loss of your husband. My offering to you is peace that you spent so many years together and raised 8 children which is a great accomplishment in itself. I enjoyed our years together at Sears and want you to know you are a wonderful lady. Dianne Kelly.
