If it was not her friends or family she was with, Kelli loved spending time with her pets; they meant the world to her.

I sat next to Bronsyn on his flight home from Kelli's funeral. Even to a stranger his love for Kelli was so evident. My thoughts are with Bronsyn and all of Kelli's family and friends.

You will be so missed Kelli. I was looking forward so much to stopping by Macs and seeing you in a couple weeks. Wish I made the trip earlier. Wish you still had many more in this world. I will never forget your kindness, humor, and stunning beauty. You made a much bigger impact on my life than you will ever know. Praying for your man, your family, and the rest of the Macs family. Rest easy sweet girl.
