Hello, I am a volunteer with Bay Area Young Survivors (BAYS), a breast cancer support group that Kelly was a member of. I wanted to let Kelly's friends and family know that we will be honoring her with a plaque at the BAYS Memorial Garden, the first-ever memorial to honor people who have died of breast cancer. Our opening ceremony will be May 3. If anyone could put me in touch with Kelly's family, I'd appreciate it. My email is [email protected]. (Coincidentally, my son was also Kelly's student at University High School, and we adored her.)

Eric and I think about you all often and see a warm, vibrant light surrounding you all. What a gift Kelly was.
I loved reading about her and remember her as a young child when you visited in Chico and again as a kind, funny, loving young girl when we visited you all in Washington years ago. Love to you all.

I was a friend from Whitman. I feel beyond lucky to have had Kelly Peach in my life. She was amazing. She was joyful and silly and full of so much life. Her creativity was inspiring. I'll miss you so much, Kelly.

I'm so sorry to hear this news. I babysat for the Peaches when I was a teenager and have such fond memories of the kids. Kelly was so smart and and fun, and my second in command, always helping me wrangle the other kids. What a tremendous loss for the world. Sending so much love and comfort to Andy, Sue, Nick, and Maggie during their heartbreak.

I did not know Kelly but was a client of her father. I remember her pictures in his office. I am so sorry for her loss. My heart goes out to her family and friends. May she rest in peace. I am praying for all who knew her.

Kelly was my niece and I will miss her. I remember her father Andy dancing on the bar top in downtown Bellingham the night Kelly was born in April 1984.. He looked like the village idiot as he lacked what the experts describe as balance and rhythm but the gleam of pride in his eyes made everyone in the place cheer him on and laugh with him in joyous celebration. Kelly suffered for many years, but managed to always have a shy smile and was a gentle, graceful soul much like her great grandmother Magie McMorris who Kelly never had the pleasure to meet. I wish I had made a better effort to spend more time with Kelly in her later years. She was one brilliant young woman. She was one of the few people I know who had no enemies. She was loved by all. Kelly is still special in our hearts.
