Not sure what to say?

To Keely's family; I know I'm a year late with this, but I am so incredibly sorry. I didn't know Keely all that well, but I went to school with her and I remember how kind she was to me. I can't even wrap my head around the idea that she's gone. I'm so sorry.

To Keely; I'm sorry I never really got to know you. We only hung out a few times before drifting in different directions. I was never very good with people, but you treated me so kindly despite that. Thank you. I hope you're...

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

To the family, i am sorry for the loss of your little girl, she used to help me with my children when she was about 11 or 12, when we lived in marlboro,she saved the money for 4h, all the stories she told, how mature and bright even then she was. She turned out to be so beautiful, and amazing! The world was blessed to have her, may she rip, and may your hearts hold her close! This is very sad sad news, prayers to you all, heaven gained an angel

You are missed deeply, Keely. It gets harder the longer you have been gone.

I never got the chance to meet you but I can tell you touched many many lives. Keep smiling up there

To Gene and family,
Deepest condolences to you and your family. It was alsways a pleasure when Keely visited the Woodville Rod and Gun club. I enjoyed listening to the stories you shared about Keely. May she rest in peace.

Wanda and Grace,
I am so sorry for your loss. Keely was such a wonderful young lady. Her smile was infectious. I hope you can find comfort during this time.

To Keely's family, & loved ones:
I am so very sorry to hear of Keely's passing. I never had the pleasure of even meeting her, however it is evident that she must have been a wonderful, dedicated young lady. Please know you are in our prayers. Only King Jesus, the Prince of Peace can heal your broken hearts, and He will-if you let Him. Run to Him, cry to Him, He will never leave you. He loves you, even though we don't know why this happened, please trust Him. He will carry you through...

Keely was my student during her junior year at NRHS. The light that she brought everywhere with her was such an indication of what a kind, beautiful soul she was. Please know she was loved by so many and will not be forgotten. My deepest condolences.
