I am in Shock & deep sorrow to hear this about my old childhood friend, that I have been trying to locate for many years, Kelly & I went to Butterworth Elementary, Wilson Jr. High in Moline, at any given time you would see one of else the other was right beside. her parents had a auction house out on Rt 6 , every Sunday Judy (Mother) would pack us 3 girls (Kelly, Kimmy & I ) head out to Jim @ auction house, where Kelly & I would get in the most trouble, we would take off on the horses & be gone all day exploring pretending we lived in a foreign countries, even speaking their language, not understanding a work, but yet knowing what the other one was saying.Kelly & I was separated by my parents divorce, & through that summer we would walk/ride bikes/horses 5 miles each to meet in the middle for a picnic. after school started that fall, I never seen her again. I once stop by her old house in Fruitland, but new family living there, had no ideal where the Wards moved. I always had Kelly on my mind, wondering what she was doing, living, married, children. search the internet several time hoping to get a bite, but today I can put my mind at rest, know however young she was. Alfred, I'm so glad she had you for 30 so years, Kelly my friend I'll see you in Haven.
