Kelli supervised the Occupational/Physical Therapy staff at Unit 4. It was a pleasure to work with her. She was greatly missed when she left for another district. She was a kind and compassionate person.

I can´t believe she is gone. Kelli was a godsend when my kids had IEPs. A strong advocate. She was someone you would always see around town. Such a loss. Peace to her family. She was your biggest fan.

I enjoyed working with Kelli. She was always very supportive and helpful. It was a loss to Unit 4 when she left the District and a gain for Decatur where they appreciated her. She was also very proud of her family and their accomplishments. She will be missed.

Kelli was such a wonderful person. She and I were administrators together. I learned so much from your mom. Not just about special education but about parenting and spiritually...she was the real deal. Keli has left a lot of touched lives here on earth. May God bless you all.
