Slain mother remembered

Family and friends of Kelly Currin Morris said goodbye to the young Granville County mother of two, more than 14 months after she left their lives.

As many as 500 people crowded into the chapel of Bible Baptist Church in Butner to attend a memorial service for Morris, 28, whose remains were found Nov. 17 in a 900-acre tract where dogs chase coyotes and foxes for sport.

"We're stunned," the Rev. Keith Williams said. "We're heartbroken."
