I met Kelly in our Senior Year in High School, when I was an Exchange Student at Marion Senior High. I will always remember Kelly as a kind and friendly person who made you comfortable in her presence. I was saddened to hear of her passing and send my thoughts to her husband and family.

Dear Martin and Calahan Families:
I went to law school with Kelly and remember riding the metro with her to our law clerk jobs at Legal Services Corp. in Washington. All these years later, when I think about the young woman I knew then, I remember her big smile and positive outlook and energy. Time flew by as we laughed and chatted on that train.
I was so saddened to read about her death in my alumni magazine. Please accept my sincere and heartfelt condolences on the loss of Kelly.

I met Kelly when we were seniors in high school when she was a life guard at Hungry Mother State Park. She was full of life and laughed a lot. She was a joy to be around. I talked with her some during our college years and the last time I saw her was at a wedding where we were brides maids together. She was a wonderful person throughout her life. I am so sadden for this tremendous loss to her children, husband, parents, siblings and many, many friends.
My prayers are with you.

Kelly was a great friend in high school and at Va Tech. Always smiling and ready to lend a hand. We shared laughs and tears. We lost touch over the years; but, I am sure that Kelly was a wonderful wife and mother. She always dreamed of her wedding and family. I am so sorry for your loss.
God be with you.
