Dear Kelly,
It's been a shamefully long time since last we spoke and I regret that. There's certainly a few good stories we could have reviewed later in life for a laugh or two. We'll all just have to wait a little longer to share. Don't worry, Kel, we'll look after your loved ones until then. It has been a privilege to know you. Thank you for that. We'll see you after.

You are not alone. Although you do not know me, I send my deepest condolences. Your story is all too familiar. Three and a half years ago, I lost my spouse (a partner in a Boston firm) to an AVM rupture at the age of 44. May sweet memories bring you comfort during this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear about Kelly. We had such fun growing up in Salem Hills, then all the great times in high school. It's been many years but the memories are always there. She obviously touched many lives and will be missed by all who knew her. I will continue to pray for you and your family during this difficult time.

Dear Hogan and Kirby Family,
It is with extreme sadness that I read the news about Kelly. Like my other classmates, I have not seen her in a long time, but there is something about those high school years that seem as though it was yesterday. I remember Kelly as beautiful and kind and I am so sorry for you loss.

To All of Kelly's Family-
I was so sad and shocked to hear of Kelly's death. It has been about 27 years since I had last seen Kelly. She was in some of my classes at Clayton A. Bouton Junior-Senior High School, and we graduated together in 1981. I remember her as being a very positive person with everything under control and always with a smile on her face. She will undoubtedly be missed. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time.

Bob and the Hogan Family,
From the first day of high school Algebra, through cheerleading and ending up in Boston lucky enough to share time with she and my sister...she never changed, stayed true to who she was and never lost her smile. She and Debbie had a "once in a lifetime" friendship. She is already missed beyond comprehension.

We shall meet again.

Dear Kathy, Jim & Family
How do we begin to tell you how we feel, we go back so far our familys, as our children were growing up.
The great times, the laughter we shared, the crazy things we did will never be forgotten. They are all coming back like a roller coaster.
Kelly was a beautiful girl with a smile you saw a mile away, we all loved her.
I'm so glad Louis & Kelly stayed in touch through out the years. I'm so glad we saw you & Jim for Biancas graduation. It was like old times.
Our love and prayers are always with you both, our dear friends who were always there for us.
God Bless you all in this very difficult time
Love Shirley & Family
