A 'Fitting' Memorial

A visit to Plantersville Cemetery for Cam Kelly Chennault and Carole Kelly in July included placing a heart-shaped July Independence-theme wreath with a Coca-Cola, a bottle Coke, in the center at George's site.  The drink was special to several Kellys.  George managed to choke down coffee, but Coke was his morning and all-day choice.  Cam inherited that taste choice from her daddy, from Doris-ey, and Aunt Lucille.  She loved how Aunt 'Cille poured her the WHOLE Coke (or 'Coka!'), rather than her mother's stingy quarter of a cup. (She could hear the fizz of an opened bottle of 'Coka' at 100 or so paces.  I think she still can. Never leave home without one.)
