Kelly was always helpful whenever we had any questions and took the time to explain everything we needed to understand to us. We e-mailed her on a Saturday afternoon for a question we had, expecting to hear back Monday morning and she called us within a few minutes. She took time out of her weekend to help us out and we really appreciated that.
