    Kelli is and will be a friend of mine forever, when I needed help with school she was there. I only knew her a short time and she always promised that if she came to Georgia to see her family that she would stop by and say hey. This has come to me by complete surprise. Kelli E. Best I don't know what happen but I will forever miss you, Turnip Green.
