I never knew any of you but my grandson went to Beadle with Molly and was deeply saddened by the loss of your daughter/sister Kelley. We have been praying that God will lift and carry you during this difficult time. Remember that this life is like a vapor in eternity and that you can lean to the Lord for strength for the day and a hope for tomorrow. I have heard so many wonderful things about Kelley and she will not be forgotten by the Millard West student body. May God cradle you in His...

Kelley left a mark on everyone that she came in contact with. I remember that everytime I saw her she was smiling and talking to everyone. She was loved and always be loved. The memories that people have of her will keep her spirit alive. For the Ver Velde family, I am deeply sorry for your loss. Kelley was a wonderful girl and will never be forgotten. God bless your family.

VerVelde Family,
I'll never forget teaching Jesse and Kelley Jo! Kelley Jo was a cute little "Tomboy" in first grade playing soccer at recess with the boys! Kelley Jo's brown bob with bangs bounced with the basketball too! Kelley Jo was an all-star back then! As teachers send on their students to the next grade, the many wonderful memories stay in their hearts. Your family has my deepest sympathy. I am praying for all of you.

We can't believe and understand why Kelley is gone. We all know the VerVelde family well as Molly use to play on Arsenal 93-94. Our thoughts and prayers are with you but know that God is with Kelley and taking good care of her even though we all wish she was here with us! God Bless all of you to have the strength to get through this most difficult time.

VerVelde Family,
I had a chance to meet Kelly on a visit she took to Drake. She was a beautiful young woman and I enjoyed getting to meet her. Although she was a very talented soccer player, she was very humble about her abilities. I thought highly of her because this. I am so sorry for your loss and you are in my thoughts and prayers.
