Hey Kel, It's hard for me to put into words what I feel in my heart. From the day you were a year old and PaPa Layne had you to stretch up to be so........big; to the beautiful mature woman you grew up to be,you were loved so much. I want to thank you for sharing some of your last days with me. It was an honor! Love you always,Aunt Katy

Kelly
I met you in nursing school. I guess that has been well over 20 years ago now. We became fast friends. You helped me get through classes and clinicals when I got pregnant. I was sick as a dog and you would help me with patients so I wouldn't throw up.I still remember, (like it was yesterday) going to pre-planning and you had bought this cute little outfit from the limited. You strutted into the room, looked at me and said I feel "hot" today, it was priceless! I had the pleasure of working with you in the OR for a couple of years before you moved to Florida and left me. By the way I still haven't gotten over that. I feel very blessed that we remained friends over the years. I love and miss you, always will. You were a beautiful, intelligent woman in life and I feel sure you are the same in heaven. I dreamed about you a few nights ago, which is something that has never happened before. I am hoping it was your way of letting me know you were ok. Much love to you my friend.

Kelly was such a beautiful and kind person. She was a good and caring nurse with such a beautiful smile. Her life has touched so many lives. I am sorry she had to suffer so much in her life. She will be missed. May God give all her family comfort and peace.

Every day that goes by I miss you more. I miss your wonderful laugh, your bright smile and the way you would give me that look when you didn't want to do something that was good for you (during your illness). But you never once complained about this horrible disease and all its' discomfort. You were such a brave girl. I love you and miss you, Mom
