Silence is decidedly NOT golden
I have told you that I personally know Kelly and Chris of Unlock The Secret Voice. I have told you, or should have, that she is an incredible woman and mother. Now I will tell you that this is unfortunate for all of us; I know I have learned from every post. Personally, I am
