Kerby will be remembered as a devoted mother to her son Khylan, a  loving sister , a beloved daughter  and a compassionate and generous person to her family and friends .  She was a character and every member of her family had a memory, of something that will make you laugh.  She was  determined to live. Kerby fought very hard to stay mobile inspite of her progressive and life altering illness, that she endured for 17 years. Her will to live was unmeasurable. God prepared a caregiver designed specifically for Kerby , that loved her dearly, as only a mother could.  God gave Kerby Grace and Mercy everyday of her journey, until it was her time to go.  On December 16th Kerby became a whole person again, in her body and mind as she transitioned to be with the Lord.
