Dear Marva, George, Trent, Madison, Ruby, Taylee, Ryan, Tawnya, Greg,& Phil, I just located this website so wanted to once again tell you how sad I am about the tragic loss of your precious daughter, wife, mother, and sister. Through Kerrie's years at Allen Dale, she always had such a sweet personality along with being absolutely adorable. Her beautiful smile and kind gentle spirit will remain my memory of her. May God's eternal love surround you all. "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted." Psalms 34:18

A friend who works at RCC loss his wife when their second daughter was born a few years ago. We mentioned what happend to Kerrie and he is interested in contacting Trent at some time by email or phone if Trent is intersted.

Daily I am remembering each of you in prayer. Love and hugs, Karen

Trent I am sorry to hear about this...I couldnt make it down to see you and Im very sorry for that. It has made me sick over the past few days to think about this tragic time. I have also been thinking of when we were kids, which seemed like yesterday, I remember your dad just about loosing it on us when we started the old rear shed on fire (ooops)sorry pops. Im glad we had a chance to grow up together, you were always fun to raise trouble with LOL or pull your along while I got us in trouble. Now, look at us old (overweight for me and gray) and dads ourselves. Isnt being a Dad great? Im sure your a great father and I know you will pull through this, as tough as it may seem. Your wife is very pretty, God must of needed her for a beauty pagent, man o man am im so sorry she left early. My best wishes and prayers go out to you and your family, hang in there. If you ever need assistance with the kids I have 2 sweet little girls they could play with anytime.
Love,

The Barbers, Brandon -Natalie -Skye and Mckinley

Blue Family,
I'm so sorry to hear about Kerrie. I was able to attend her funeral but didn't get a chance to speak to any of you but I want you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I have fond memories of Kerrie from the GP and Provo days. I know its tough and sometimes incomprehensible but The Lord is in charge and I have faith in that. Trent, I never met you but after attending the funeral I can tell that you come from a great family like the Blues and that you will make it through this. You and your daughters are in my thoughts and prayers also.

Trent, Madison, Ruby, Taylee, George, Marva and the rest of the Blue clan, I am so heartbroken over the passing of Kerrie... what a fantastic person she is... It seems like it was yesterday, after the Wallace family reunion when she was 15, Kerrie wanting to learn to drive with my car, which had a manual transmission over at the Taylorsville High school driving course. What a fun experience to share with her... she will be greatly missed and hold a special place in my heart, always... You are very blessed to have had her in your life, she to have you in hers and for all eternity... Heavenly Father must have a special calling for her to call her back so soon... It breaks my heart that we can't be there with you... just know you will be in our prayers today and always... If there is anything we can do let me know, not just now but anytime in the future. With all our love and prayers...

Dear Thompson Family,
I knew Kerrie for only 3 years, but I watched her become a mother twice. I worked for her doctor and grew to love and appreciate the kindness in her heart. I wish I could have been there for her at her time of need. I wish all the best for her family and all my love to her beautiful children. I know Kerrie lived her life to the fullest and will be waiting for her family in the celestial kingdom. I just want her girls to know that their mother was an inspiration to everyone she met. I loved her deeply.

Trent & Girls; George, Marva & Family: I had the blessed fortune to be a member of the very special Blue family and to be called Karrie's aunt for seven years. I am so heartbroken by her passing and am hopeful that all of you know you are in my thoughts and prayers now and always. My hope is that as we open our eyes a little wider and consider how this looks from a more eternal perspective that we will be comforted by the knowledge that Heavenly Father is not an absentee, that He does indeed know our anguish and will be our way through this trial of sorrow. I love you all.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I knew Kerrie a while ago, but loss touch - it's hard for me to believe that she's a mother of three, let alone gone. I've prayed for peace to be with you (Trent and the girls) all and I hope you feel this. You're definitely not alone and neither is Kerrie. Take care and know that all will be well.

Trent and girls,
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I will truely miss Kerrie's smile and fun loving personality at our yearly bar-b-que's. My heart cries for all of you right now. When I saw her on the day she had Taylee, we laughed about how she could just have a baby and look that beautiful. It is because she was truly a beautiful person inside and out. It's had to believe she is gone now. It's too early. I will miss her. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.
