It was obvious from the first time I met Kendra that she was special. I interviewed her shortly after Aultman MSO for a new medical practice I was opening. I felt she was over qualified but offered her to work as a contractor for me the next day, so I guess I was her first official client. We became friends & I ALWAYS knew I could count on her whether it was new project, new office or one of my idea's like "tuck me in stars" an inspirational kids product.
She was always upbeat, kind, diligent, with her "get r done" attitude always on. Our last project was the development of NightHawk Pros which we started in my home. We had fun in Chicago last year promoting NightHawk. It is so rare to have someone so skilled, so versatile, AND so compassionate and kind come into your life. I cannot begin to express how much I will miss her. She knew I loved her & thought the world of her. I'm thankful we crossed paths. She helped me through the loss of my 37 yr old brother last year, sensing my "melt downs" and there to comfort always.
I pray for God's comfort as you grieve the loss of her physical presence in your daily lives. Love reaches across eternity. Know I'm here if you need me.

My thoughts and prayers go out to both the Conrad and Motter families. Kendra was an incredible person who was a great team builder. She was the glue that held the Class of '84 together. She will be missed because a person as great as Kendra can never be replaced. We have lost one of the great Trojans to ever grace the halls of Timken Senior High. Our lives and the Class of '84 will never be the same.

It was a real privilege to be a friend with her. May God Bless your family during this very difficult time.

DEAR SHAREN,TOM,AND ENTIRE FAMILY AND FRIENDS;
I AM SO VERY SADDENED TO LEARN THAT YOUR BELOVED SISTER,MOTHER,DAUGHTER,DAUGHTER-IN-LAW,SISTER-IN-LAW,AUNT , FRIEND, AND CO-WORKER ,HAS BEEN TAKEN FROM YOU BECAUSE OF THIS TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. TO THINK SHE WAS JUST ON VACATION AND HAVING FUN,AND TO HAVE AN ENDING LIKE THIS, IS SO DIFFICULT, I AM SURE , FOR YOU TO BELIEVE IT COULD EVEN POSSIBLY BE TRUE. IT COULDN'T SEEM POSSIBLE.
I UNDERSTAND YOUR GRIEF, AS I HAVE RECENTLY LOST MY MOTHER,SO I KNOW THE HURT AND FEELING OF A GREAT LOSS. HOWEVER, YOUR SISTER WAS VERY YOUNG, AND WASN'T ILL,AND IT WAS TOTALLY UNEXPECTED, GIVING ALL OF YOU ABSOLUTELY NO TIME TO THINK,ABSORB,OR EVEN TRY TO ACCEPT WHAT COULD HAPPEN. THAT HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST DIFFICULT WAY TO LOSE A PERSON YOU LOVE.
I AM THINKING OF YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL,AND PRAYING THAT, AS TIME PASSES ON, THAT THE HURT WILL GRADUALLY LESSEN. BUT, AS I HAVE EXPERIENCED, IT DOES TAKE ALOT OF TIME.I TRY TO DWELL ON ALL THE GOOD THINGS THAT I REMEMBER,BUT IT EASIER SAID THAN DONE.
GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU, AND MOST OF ALL,MAY GOD BLESS YOUR DEAR SISTER KENDRA.
SHE WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU.
SINCERELY,RICKI

I hope our love and prayers bring some comfort even in this terrible sadness. Kendra's a fun and loving friend and I'll remember her that way. I keep remembering the wedding, plus of course, all at our time at work, our after work happy hours, and the fact that she wasn't afraid to try new things. I admired that in her. So sad but a life well led. I send my heartfelt love.
