Roger, Ryan, Mrs. Schmitt, Larry, Ronnie, Karen and Kathy....Thanks to all of you for the warm reception at our beloved Kelly's wake. You all remembered me. That made me feel special...but it also broke me down. I tried to hold steady, but I failed upon the sight and the greetings from your beautiful family. I will never forget my special friend. She touched the lives of so many. I guess the turn out was evidence of that. Kelly will always be with me as I'm sure with you as well. She will forever be my friend, in my mind and in my heart.
God Bless you all!
Love Always!!!

Our thoughts and prayers to Roger, Ryan, and the Strohmeier and Schmitt families.
I remember Kelly's smile more than anything back in our High School Band days. My son Drew is also a good friend of Ryan's at school. Such a tragic loss.
God Bless,
Will, Drew, and Anne Smith

To Roger, Ryan, Mrs Schmitt, Larry, Ronnie, Karen & Kathy: Kelly was always a wonderful friend. There was never a time when I did not enjoy being around her. She was truely a light in this world. I am a better person for having known her. It seems like only last week that we drove down to SIU-C for our 1st semester. I should have stayed in touch.

When I heard the news this morning, I didn't realize who had the accident, until my friend in the Black Knights told me about Kelly. It's been a long time since I was in the Drum Corps with Kelly and know that she will be really missed. My heart goes out to the Strohmeier family and all who knew her. My wife and I will say a prayer for strength an healing for your family. May God give her a great new home in Heaven.

Roger and family of Kelly, What a shock to hear of the death of Kelly. I have known her since she was about 10 years old. She was such a sweet little girl and a great personality she had even as she was growing up. I remember the day she told me she was getting married. She was so excited and happy. Said she found the perfect man. My deepest sympathy to both families. She will be remembered for her joy and love of life.
