I have been crushed. I was hoping to spend time with Kelly again. The last time I saw Kelly was in high school and Kelly looked exactly like she does in this photo. Later on in life, I could not find Kelly from afar, until I found this. I am crushed. All of these sweet sentiments confirm that Kelly really was that special.
Kelly, we will all miss you very much. What a kind person you were. Its so very sad to not have you with us. I pray that God is laughing at your jokes. Jeff
I met Kelly at work and can truly say that she was a Real Lady. She will be greatly missed by many people.
She spoke frequently of her two nephews and I know how much she loved her family.
My prayers are with her family and loved ones.
Kelly was a special part of our family and will be deeply missed. My best thoughts for all those who have been a part of her life
