To the Bigelow Family,
I think of all of you each and every day. I know that nobody can ever completely feel the loss of a child unless it has happened to them. I wish that there was something to say to take all your pain away. Keri is your beautiful guardian angel now. She will be watching over all of you each and everyday. I have a good friend that lost her son 2 yrs ago and we talk everyday and I try so hard to make her smile and I finally can put a little smile on her face now, but I know that she feels the pain and still manages to smile a little. I cannot express how sad I am for you, Glen, Tara, Courtney and China. My eyes water when I think of the pain you and your family are feeling. I have you in my prayers each and every day I wake. Kim I know that talking with someone will not take any of the pain away, but I am here for you if you'd like to talk sometime. Sincerely, Brenda (Robbins) Millette. [email protected]

Keri, wow... i cant believe your gone. When i got the phone call and heard that you had passed away i didnt believe it. and i didnt believe it all week... when i went to your wake i was a MESS!!! i couldnt believe that was happening... i hadnt been to an open casket wake since i was 5 years old and i didnt realize how much it would impact my life... i was debating the whole way from plymouth to middleboro wether or not i should go... i couldnt deside i didnt know if i could handle it. but i knew that if i didnt go, i would regret it. There were sooo many people there that love and care about you so much.. soo many broken hearts and confused minds... i know we havent been that close lately... but when we were younger we were very close... sleepovers and you comin up to NH with me to my dads house... haha thats one memory i will NEVER forget... when you were at my dads house with me and we were havin apples with caramel sauce.. and i went to the draw and got a knife... and u got a fork.. haha... and then i cut my apple into pieces... and u jabbed ur fork into the apple... i dipped pieces of my apple into the caramel.. and u twirled ur entire apple in the caramel.. haha... and then u went to the fridge and got the whipped cream... and put it all over ur apple with caramel... n then smuged it all in my face :) haha.. my step mom almost had a heart attack!!! she freaked out!! lol.. and then when we went sledding... and put like 15 pairs of pajama pants on and 12 pairs of socks and like 18 shirts.. haha... n then truged through the snow... haha it was soo funny!! we always had a blast and u always kept a smile on my face... and i just saw you not too long ago... i mean u even met my daughter... shes almost 5 months now!!

i miss you soo much keri... words cant even describe it... you be be forever missed.. and never... EVER forgotten... we love you Keri Lynn Bigelow!!!! Rest easy babygirl...

Love Always,
Lisa

to keri's whole family..
i met keri my freshman year when she was a jr. she was always smiling, happy, and ready to help someone. i knew greg from a while too and i knew how speacial she was by the way he talked about her. last year i went through so much and keri reached out to me, ill always remember me her bryce and jacob driving around looking for something to do, or when i was lost she was always the shining light to help me through rough times. she was the person i would call when i didn't know where else to turn too.. she had so much energy and character and life .. the world was hers for the taking and i know that she loved life and never took it for granted. "damnit man" it wasn't your time to go girl .. i miss keri more each day as it sinks in that shes gone, but i know shes up there watching us, when i said goodbye to keri it was one of the hardest things i ever had to do. but she looked so peaceful, like she was having a good dream. her beautiful face will always be in my heart and i cant wait for the day we see each other again so i can hug mamabear and tell her babybears come home :)

rest easy babygirl i love you so much & cant wait to see you. forever young beautiful<3..

" free at last. "

& one last word to the bigelows,
your daughter affected the life of everyone she met. theres no one she could ever be forgotten. your daughter was one in a million, good job on raising her to be the charming, kind, helpful, beautiful smart girl she was. forever in my heart<3

bigelow family,
I sit here every day and night thinking about Keri and how she made everyone she was around smile and happy... i spend days around her at work a time before and i just cant believe shes gone forever...... but even though she may be gone physically she will never be forgotten. i went to the house today and got one of her bracelets and i know i will look at it everyday and every night and cherish it. i sit her with 2 children of my own and now i realize not to take life for granted for it can be taken from you with the blink of an eye, and u can leave behind many people u love and people that love you.... KERI god came to us to take you away on august the 25th not to put us through pain but to take u away from this cruel world and bring you to a better place sleep now at peace my friend my babygirl and look over us and protect us from the the negative this world brings..... you light will shine FOREVER i miss you so much

Dear Kim and Family,
I had been looking through the gazette online and came across the obituaries of the kids. I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your beautiful daughter and her boyfriend.

Sincerely,

I'm sorry for your loss. Keri and I were both in cosmo, but i'm a year younger. she'd always come into shop when she had academics and just chill and talk to everyone and potter would tell her to get out. =] i didnt know keri that well but every time i saw her she had a smile on her face and she was so nice to everyone. she will be missed. Rest Easy Keri<3

Megan Stetkis

August 28, 2008

To Keri's family, please accept my condolences for your terrible loss. I only knew Keri for a short time but what I did know of her was that she was a great girl with a great heart. She's one of the only people I have ever met that her mere presence could erase anyone's bad mood. Whenever I saw her she always had a smile on her face. She was best friends with my best friends and their loss is also my own. Keri was a beautiful, smart, funny girl, with a great personality to match, and she will always be remembered as such. I know she touched a lot of lives while she was here and I know that everyone who met her knows they are better for having known her. I will never forget her. My thoughts and prayers are with you always.

Bethany Vincent

August 28, 2008

I worked with Keri for less than a year at Middleboro Skilled Care ctr., but within that short time she impacted my life. Out of all the people I've ever known Keri was the only one who could change my bad mood simply by saying 'hello' with her vibrant smile. She had such a bubbly personality everyone wanted to be around her. Although she is'nt in the physical presence she will flood our hearts with her beautiful spirit, until we reunite. My condolences go out to the Bigelow family and all who knew Keri.
RIP Keri

I wish there was a button I could push, or Something I could say to make this all go away, but there isn't. So all of the memories keri has given us we can't ever let go of, we have to hold onto them forever. You know how beautiful of a person she turned out to be, she would want you to smile.

I love you guys so much,
Always and Forever

Over the four years I have known Keri, you would always no when she was around. Always walking the halls, skipping class like most of us did.

I'll never forget keri she was my best friend. We shared so many fun and crazy memories with the most random people sometimes. I use to love sleep overs at danielles those were my favorite, we would stay up and chat or keri would pass out first and we would mess with her just because she was always the first to fall asleep. She loved so many people she had a great big heart and I honestly dont know what I'm going to do without her calling me with some crazy plans for the day or without seeing her beautiful smile or even hugging her for the last time. I'm going to miss her so much and im very sorry about your loss. Love ya <33

Keri turned to me and started a conversation like shed known me for years. She was a sweet, fun, outgoing girl. She was so creative & its so upsetting to hear about this. like i said i lived in middleboro for 10 months, went to middle school with her for just 10 months, and have not forgotten her since. She will never be forgotten. Rest In Peace baby girl! <3
