Kelly Jo FEINBERG

Just wanted to let you know that Kelly's name will be on my T-shirt this weekend as I walk the track at our Thousand Oaks Relay For Life event. Her name has been on my shirt, on my luminaria bag, and in my heart each year our family has been involved...and she will always remain in my heart and my prayers. Kelly, you will never be forgotten. Love, Tricia Bartolomei ("Mrs. Bart"- Kelly's teacher at La Reina High School)

Dearest Susan and Chuck,
Words cannot express our most heartfelt sympathy. Kelly was such a guiding light in your family and her beautiful memory will help sustain you as you find your way through this difficult time.
Diana and Fred Hancock

I didn't know Kelly, but I read her wonderful essay in Brain, Child a few months ago and it was so touching that I've thought of her often. I'm so sorry to hear of her loss.

Matt, Ari, Erin, Michael, Maddie, Chuck, Sue, and Kandyce- Like many La Reina girls, I have vivid memories of Kelly's ever-present smile in the hallways, her sense of humor, and even her pride in serving as a flower girl in our graduation ceremony. To learn that she grew up and became such an incredible woman is an absolute gift, but to learn that precisely because her light has moved on is heartbreaking. Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I can only imagine your profound...

I am tremendously shocked and saddened to hear about Kelly's death. I remember so fondly the many happy times I spent in your family home in California and what a tremendous family you were--so much joy, good humor and laughter. I have read the comments here and other online postings about Kelly and it is clear that she became an amazing young woman who gave this world and her family so much. I am so deeply sorry for this unfathomable loss.

Kelly was a bright bright spirit who radiated joy and kindness. She'll be remembered by many as a true friend, an outstanding scholar and teacher, and as a dearly loved wife, mother, sister, and daughter. My deepest condolences to Kelly's and Matt's families on this untimely, tragic loss. With heartfelt sympathy, Ellen

I will always think of Kelly as a powerfully pure, strong, and loving presence, and a kind, beautiful, smart, and talented woman. Her strength was absolutely remarkable, and I am grateful to have been her friend. She is so very missed. I will miss sharing mothering stories with her and her sense of humor. I send lots of love to her entire family and especially to beautiful Ari.
