I am so sorry to hear of Kelly's illness and passing. Although I had not seen her in many years, she was always a friendly face to me when I worked at Joplin. Prayers for her family

I met and became good friends with Kelly when she would come to the Santa Ana Jail, I would always look foward to laughing and joking and talking about anything and enjoyed making music cds for her. Miss you mucho Homie!

I had the great pleasure of working with Kelly for many years. She became a dear friend that I loved deeply. She touched many lives with her infectious smile and laugh. She will be missed by many. I know that she will be up there watching over for me, just as she did here on earth.. My thoughts and prayers are with the Hoover Family during this difficult time. May the joyous memories bring you comfort.

My childhood memories have always been more brighter and happier having had Kelly in them. I'll always remember her constant smiles and laughter - even when she was fried like a red lobster after being at the beach all day with baby oil on! My thoughts and prayers are with all of her loved ones (especially Mr. Hoover, Michelle and Stefanie) and her friends as they each go through dealing with the loss of such a wonderful person. My heart goes out to you.

We have known and enjoyed Kelly since we moved to Garden Grove in 1968. She was a joy to be around. They always enjoyed swimming in our pool in the summer time playing "Fish out of Water"
She will be missed greatly.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of such a great loss. I was blessed to know and work with Kelly. She was an amazing and inspirational woman. She had an energy and joy that was infectious. During her battle with cancer she was always positive and determined. She will be missed and our lives are brighter having known her.

Kelly has been a long time wonderful friend and person. I will miss you, especially your laugh and your positive thinking. We had some VERY fun summers together at the River when we were younger. Kelly would enjoy her first day so much she had to sleep thru the next day. You will be greatly missed, but I know you are no longer hurting and are in a better place. Best Wishes to the family and may God help you through this.
