My deepest condolences to the Crean (Roney) family. May your family and friends guide your strength during this difficult time. “Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy”

I am so deeply saddened to hear of Kelly’s passing. She was one of the strongest people I had the joy of meeting and building a friendship with. I will always remember her infectious laugh, kindness and her graceful dance moves. Her love for her son was what I always aimed to have when having children myself. Prayers and the deepest condolences to her family and friends. Kelly, you will be missed dearly.

It has been many years since Kelly graced my life with her laughter and spunk. We went through our formative years together in Jr. High and then High School. I was lucky enough to stay connected with her through college and for a few years after until I moved away. I was blessed to see her during her pregnancy and share in her pure delight at her "blessing" that would later be Zachary. And although he will not remember, I was lucky to spend many days with them both dancing down in the Crean family room and playing with him watching her squeal in his delight. There are so many memories of Kelly and the Crean clan. I can still hear her laugh, man did we laugh. It as hard not to laugh when Kel was around. She always would have a smile, even during times she was in pain. Kelly had so many beautiful sides to her, lighting up the room with her energy. It was a gift very few people have. My heart was broken to hear of her passing. I couldn't grasp the thought of her not being here anymore. After hearing of the years of pain that tried to extinguish this beautiful light, I can only imagine she is finally getting some peace. My thoughts and prayers are with Nancy and Mike (forever Mr. and Mrs. Crean to me) and Jennifer. And even though I only knew Zachary a short time, I am sending so much love his way. Your momma was a star. Tonight here in California, it is a clear night, i happened to see a star that looked like a diamond in the sky. It was vibrant and twinkling in a way I haven't seen in a long time, and then I realized and knew- that twinkle is Kelly- the diamond in the dark sky. Shine on girl! Forever ~Juls

Kelly - thank you for all the memories. When the boys were 3 years old, how would we ever know that meeting you, Zach, Nana, Papa, Jen, Jason, (...later Tyler and Meg) and ALL the grandparents, that you and your family would become our forever friends. I can remember vividly how your family took up 2 (or 3) rows at every one of Zach's holiday recitals (so much love and support). From Orland Park District pre-school through St. Michael's and after, we had so much fun at the field trips, games, parties, playdates and even Saugatuck. You are sadly missed but I know you are in beautiful, pain-free heaven with our Lord. God Bless and see you on the other side. Love you!

I went to High School with Kelly. What a fantastic dancer she was! She was fun and silly and unique when it came to music and dance. I'm glad she got to share her truly awesome talents and gifts with the world! I'm sorry she couldn't be here longer but thank goodness she is now pain free and can give light and love in peace. My love to her son and her family.
