I am also a teacher in Francis Howell and was in the same hospital room as Kelli in November. She seemed so upbeat and positive, a good role model for all of us who are battling the beast. My thoughts are with you!
January 28, 2013
I was a student of Mrs. Griebenow's and had a rough time in high school. I wasn't a great student by any stretch, but she was still very kind and caring. You could tell that she was a wonderful lady, and the world is a poorer place without her.

I was a student of Mrs. Griebenow's about 6 years ago and remember her kind and caring personality. She was a great teacher and even sang our class little songs to help us remember math formulas. I am so sorry to hear of her passing and pray for peace for her family and all who knew her.

What an amazing turnout today to honor Kelli! There isn't a room that exists that could hold all of the people who have been touched by Kelli's goodness! She will be greatly missed, but her many gifts remain scattered among all those that she shared them with.

Eric,
I am very sorry. Your Kelli is in a better place now. Life chooses us to experience things for reasons we do not know or understand. Keep your faith because God loves us and only gives us what we can handle even when we think we cannot handle it. Find comfort in your family, friends and children. Have had you in my prayers and will continue to do so...take care.

Kelli was my cheerleading coach and math teacher a little over 10 years ago, and I was so shocked and saddened to hear of her passing. She was so calm and patient with all of us. I remember when she was dating Eric and he would come to our games, such a great relationship. We felt so priviledged to be invited to the wedding. My heart goes out to her family. She will be missed.

Kelli was my math teacher and cheerleading coach in high school. I have good memories of morning practices at the park over the summer, cheerleading camp and even sitting in her classroom. She was the best math teacher I have ever had and the only person that could make it make sense to me. I can only imagine how her family is feeling because I know I am so sad. That being said, please remember how wonderful she was and what a difference she made to so many peoples lives, especially mine.

I had the honor of working with Kelli at FHHS for 11 years. Her talent, caring and compassion for others went far beyond the classroom. I was always amazed at her ability to make her students feel welcomed and appreciated. Her colleagues admired her; her students revered her and she will be missed greatly. My prayers are with Erik, Ali, Connor and the rest of the Griebenow family.
