Not sure what to say?

I think of Kelli often as she was such a force in advocating for children with disabilities. Taken too soon, but I know she is in Heaven with her Lord and Savior. RIP Kelli.

My deepest condolences to Gary & family! Kelli and I facilitated the SHARE Support group together for years. This group was a grief group for family members who lost an infant from miscarriage though about early infancy. Since Kelli had experienced the devastating pain of such a loss with the death of Lawren, she could truly empathize with the participants. Kelli was an immeasurable support for me as a co-facilitator. It is difficult to believe she has left this world, but I know she is in...

Kelli you will be deeply missed. You made positive changes in so many lives . Love and peace

My heartfelt love and sympathy to Kelli´s family. She was a true fighter for you. Her display of faith and trust in God truly made an impact on my life. She is not gone nor forgotten. She is at peace and is victorious with our Lord. Until we all meet again, thank you and peace be with you, Kelli. Much love, Marty Edgington

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.
