Dearest Shorts~I read Mitch's words and got an immediate mental picture of Kelly laughing that's still with me three days later. Mitch, great to see your name, and I so appreciated you getting the ball rolling. I feel a million things at once...Not even sure when Kel and I met..."kinnygarden" or 1st at Sutter? She was one of my very first best friends in life, the 7th kid at our home, just as I thought of myself as the 6th at yours. We didn't have "sleepovers" or "playdates" back then, it was life. Kelly and I went our separate ways after high school, as you know, but I thought of her often...she helped shape who I am. I loved her, she was my other sister back then. Tom and Sue, we hugged, when? Two years ago, when i dropped in out of the blue? I did call Kelly, but we never connected. My heart is with you all now. I won't be able to make the service, but the loud, raucous Raineri clan is with you and Kelly in spirit, always. - Kim Raineri Brown
