Kelly Diane Werlinger

I met Kelly when she was in 9th grade - about fourteen - at a teen-helpline run by the Pebble Project. I was an adult volunteer supervising several teens but she stood out for her enthusiasm and wit. During a slow evening I saw her working on her math homework and offered to help. She was very bright and managed to ace the subsequent test with a 100%. I again ran into her years later when she was an undergraduate summer intern at Motorola (and I was an employee). She was as smart and composed...

It saddened me so much to hear about Kelly's passing. Kelly and I were friends in high school. I wish that we would have kept in touch with each other. Maybe in some way I could of helped her through the pain. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family for this terrible loss. Rest in peace Kelly.

I graduated with Kelly from Crockett. I didn't know her well, and had only one conversation with her at gradation. We were both "W's", so we sat next to each other. I asked where she was going to college, and she told me Brown University. She always struck me as someone who worked hard for all she achieved. With our 20 year reunion coming up, I just found out about her passing. My heart goes out to all who love and miss her.

I stumbled, quiet by accident, upon the news of Kelly. Needless to say, I was shocked and stunned. The last time I remember seeing Kelly was at the radio station in Lockhart. She was still a child. Please accept my sincere condolences.

I just found out about Kelly completely by chance. We hadn't talked in many years, but I've still often thought about her. She was a kind, gracious, and wonderful person.

I am so saddened to read about Kelly just today in the the Brown Alumni Monthly Magazine. I was a classmate of Kelly's at Brown-- we took a speech class together our freshman year, where she told everybody her nickname was "Bob". Up to now, I've always remembered her as Bob. I am so sorry for your loss. Please accept my condolences and prayers...

I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Dr Werlinger, but as a fellow UT Southwestern grad I read of her death in the alumni news. And as a fellow physician who struggles with depression, I send my prayers and condolences to Dr Werlinger, her family, her friends, and the many patients and colleagues whose lives she touched.

Lynn & Family,
There are no words that can make the hurting stop. We all hurt with you in this time of unspeakable grief and can only offer words, embraces and prayers. It never makes sense when the bright, talented young people have to leave us so soon. Kelly will be remembered in the most positive of ways, as a warm and caring person that gave unselfishly of herself. You all remain in our thoughts and prayers. May God bring you inner peace soon.
