Jeff, Natalie, and Steve, So sorry for the loss of your loving mother. Dru has such a beautiful soul. I'm sure she is enjoying being received by the loving Lord and all those who loved her here on earth including my Mother who loved her so dearly. I'm sure they are having a ton of fun together now. I can't think of the two of them having their fun and laughter up North without smiling. I will miss her fun and loving nature. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Kelly
