Thinking of you all during this difficult time. I have wonderful memories of Auntie Jan and Uncle Clark. They spoiled us when we were little. I remember going to their house and having the best time. They are together again. Praying for peace and comfort in the days ahead. Kelly Albritton ( Kirk & Carol’s daughter)
