My memories of Kelly are from my first years at Court Junior High(1974-1975). I didn't know her in her later years, but I did know her as a young bubbly spirit who was friendly and kind. She was a young lady who could light up a room with her smile and twinkle in her eyes. May the fond memeries of the beauty and warmth that she shared with so many, be a tribute and help to console you during your loss.

I have fond memories of Kelly from junior high school, we had lots of laughs and shared many good times growing up in that awkward 12-14 year old stage. She will be missed but I am confident she is at peace now with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and is free from the pain of cancer.

Rodney and Laverne--Many memories come to my mind when I think about you guys and Kelly. Especially at Easter and the Easter eggs hunts. Now God has taken her home and left you with wonderful memories of a great daughter. Thank Him so much for memories to keep us mindful of being together again soon, in our home in Heaven. Kelly is now new and happy, waiting with the rest of our family, for us to join them. God's comfort will be with each and everyone of you. Love to you all. Mark
