Dear Schwert Family:

I was so saddened to read of Kelli's passing recently in the Alfred Sun. Though I never knew her in her "grown-up" years, I remember her as a sweet little girl trying to keep up with her brothers! I remember all the many hours spent babysitting for her and her brothers before I left for college. I am so happy she found her happiness in her teaching, crafting, family, friends, animals, and life. I wish I could have gotten to know her over the later years. I...

Your love lives on in those you inspire, dear Kelli. Trudi, Dave, Pete and Dan and family- your love sustained her through her battle, and helped to make her the courageous beauty and wonderful friend she was. My thoughts are with you now and in the days ahead.

Recieved news via Bob Danner here in Myrtle Beach. So sorry about your loss. You are continually in our prayers at this time and in the days ahead. May God comfort and uphold you and your family. He is faithful. John & Martha Nystrom

Dear Dave & Trudi,
Though we never knew Kelli, we know that you cared for her over her very long battle. You're surely feeling this loss deeply. May our Lord Jesus Christ give you his peace!

Dear Trudi - Thank you for taking the time to visit the Wed. am Bible study at the Houghton Wes. Church this am. We sensed that God is sustaining you, as He promised, in our time of need and pain.
You have been a beautiful example of what a mother should be to an adult child.
We prayed for you and Dave - and others left behind. "In His presence is fullness of joy!" Psalm 16:11
Lovingly, Beth Beardsley, Houghton, NY
