My dear Chelsea. Once again we have to celebrate your birthday without your presence here. Sitting here looking at your pictures trying to picture you at 22 years old. I know you would be as beautiful on the outside as you always were on the inside. Know you are never forgotten and always are in our thoughts and hearts.

I had forgotten but for a moment, of the anniversary. We of course have not forgotten you. When we buried my other Dad last week, we all visited you. But then there was my birthday, and as always, 7 days later, the day you left this spinning rock, like Grandpa refer to it as sometimes. I still do not have the answers, and I feel somewhat as if time froze that day in 2012.
My heart feels like it did, in many ways.
More people are coming there, where you are. Do you get to see them? Know them?
I miss you. I love you always and write this now because on the day, you know the one, I won't be able to come here to write. On that day, you will have to look into my heart for my words will be silent as there are never any that come to me when I have to think about it.

I can't believe it's been six years since you were here with us. You're always in my thoughts, I can't believe you would have been 20 with us this year. I miss you girl.
March 7, 2014
2 years have passed on the calendar sweetie, but in so many ways life stopped when your heart did. Love you forever, Grandpa

Thinking of you now, and what a perfect date you would have made for Carlos. It's crazy how quickly a year can pass, and how much can happen in that time...

I'm lighting this candle to help us help you. I know it doesn't help when we can't accept your passing. I just can't.. yet. I don't know that I ever will. I am still in shock. I love you and I know you know that, but somehow it doesn't seem that love is enough.

Chels, it's been a long lonely month with lots of tears both shed and not shed as we struggle to make sense out of your passing from this life with us. I hope you know and felt the love we all have for you that will never dim no matter the passage of time on this spinning rock called earth. Love and hugs, Grandpa Savas

Well, Chels, we made it through the weekend. It's Monday & that means the world has started turning again. Or, has it? To us, it looks like it has, but there will always be something different about it.
Watch over your friends at school who will be there w/o you today & will be struggling.
I love you.

Jenny and Family,
My family sends our condolence for your great loss. My daughter Kandy had the priviledge of being bff's with Chelsea when your daughter attended Oquirrs Hills in the 5th grade. My baby remembers that Chelsea was a beautiful, kind and great friend. They shared many happy moments while Chelsea attended there. Like all who loved her, my baby will miss Chelsea very much. May God keep vigil over your family and give you strength. Prayers of comfort for you and your love ones.

Well, today's the day. I wish it was not. I wish so many things.
I love you is about all I can say that brings me any kind of peace. Well, that, & being with the family.
Be with each of us today as we go through the unfathomable; the unimaginable. Ironically, we need you here to help us through this. You would know just what to do.

I will miss seeing Chelsea in my first period class. Her sweet smile, the pink hair, the beautiful nails, the flower behind her ear. She was always cheerful, kind and loving.
She had all the traits that I got to know in her brothers and sister. I have been so happy to be able to get to know your family through teaching them and they are all wonderful.
My love and prayers are with you all.
Thank you for letting me be a small part of your family's life.

Clayne & Teri - What a BEAUTIFUL daughter of God Chelsea was. Her contagious smile and laughter will never be forgotten. I will always remember how kind and caring she was towards Mason. Her compassion for others was something to be very proud of. She is an angel and will be watching over all of us. Chelsea touched so many people in her short life here on earth, and she will never be forgotten.
We love you all and pray that God will embrace you with his love at this time so that you will know she is safe, happy and free. She will be with you always.
Chelsea - Spread your wings and fly sweet angel! Dance till your heart is content, until we meet again....
LOVE ALWAYS,
Machelle, Mike, Marissa, and Mason

Clayne and Terri, I always thought how fun it was to see you take your kids out to camp and play and just be silly. Clayne you were such a fun dad and sometimes just one of the kids. We enjoyed seeing the kids at the Christmas party every year and watching them grow up. I am so sad about your loss. I cant imaging losing a daughter. My heart breaks for you both. I love you.

To Chelsea's family,
I have been Chelsea's friend since first grade. She was always so nice and funny. We were in the same math class this year. I am going to miss her SO much! We ate lunch together in 6th grade. She used to help my mom tease me about not eating my fruits and veggies at lunch last year because my mom works at Arcadia. She would say "Cameron- eat some fruit! It's good!" She was a good friend. I was really sad when I heard that she died! I didn't sleep very good last night because I kept thinking about what happened. I am going to miss her so much! I wrote R.I.P. Chelsea on my arm today for school and I wore a pink ribbon with her name on it on my shirt.
Chelsea- I MISS YOU!
Families Are Forever!

Everyone misses her already. It's hard to see someone you love pass away, I talked to Chelsea every now & again. Such a loving girl. Everyone loved to be around her. She was simply the best & will forever be in my prayers. I can't even explain how hard it is for every one of us. I will donate & cherish you forever Chelsea, we love & miss you soooooo much! RIP baby girl, I wish me & you were closer. Xoxoxox.

I am not there
Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the snow on the mountains rim, I am the laughter in children's eyes, I am the sand at the water's edge, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle Autumn rain, When you awaken in morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the star that shines at night, Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there,
I did not die
She will always be with you
Melody, Dylan, and Trystan

J, I can't remember if I included your name in my post. I'm losing it. My mother made me repeat everything last night that I'd said Wednesday night because she said I was hystericaland, to be honest, she had hardly understood a word I'd said.
You know there are no words. And, that's a feat. When I have no words, something is seriously not right. I know that for us, words are not necessary. Just like Wednesday night when we sat on the phone & cried together. That was enough.
I don't want to believe this & I'm not doing well if I'm supposed to.
You know how much the kids mean to me & how close Chelsea & I had become. I still want to text her & see how her school day is going.
I love you. I will see you tonight.
I left off Andrew now, too. Please know I am not meaning to. Im just a wreck & not thinking clearly, despite my efforts to. Andrew, you know I love you too & my prayers are with you during this time.

I don't want to see this. It makes me feel like it might be real. I keep thinking that when I get off the plane tonight & Jamie picks me up, you will be there. I don't know why my brain keeps thinking these things. I guess its my heart wanting this not to be true.
I enjoyed all of your texts about what you had for lunch & what movie you were watching in Piano. And, your drawings & when we shared pics of the sunset. And, Words by Post. You were ahead of me on our latest game!
I love you Chels & have from the moment I met you. You are one of a kind & in our hearts & souls forever.
Josh, I love you NO MATTER WHAT forever & ever also. Know this, feel this.
Jamie & Chandler, you know I love each of you also. You kids (ha you are practically grown adults now) are very special to me.
Fondalee, Jim, & Kyle - words do not express our feelings of loss & grief. I know that together, we will all do what we can to hold each other up.
I will not say Goodbye because I know Chelsea is not gone, she has just changed form. She is as beautiful an Angel in Heaven as she always has been on Earth.
