Kelsey Gallagher

Just an up date;
We played Kelsey's Testimony (from when Kelsey was 11 years old) in our Bible study Wensday night, there was some wet eyes for sure. My Pastor felt Kelsey did so much in her life time sharing God's love and helping people get threw tough times.

We had Cops for Cancer Sunday in our little village of five hundred. Well I dared my Pastor to shave his head if he would, I would. I couldn't attend, but later when I heard he did, I did also. At the study...

Our deepest sympathy to Kelsey's family.
You have been and will remain in our prayers.

Dear Gallagher Family -
It has saddened me to hear that Kelsey is no longer with us. Though I have not been in contact with you lately, on the occassions that I have found my way to my knees in prayer, I have often found my thoughts turning toward Kelsey. This is partly because I wished her strength in her struggle, and because I knew how important matters of the spirit were to your family.

Most importantly, though, Kelsey comes to mind at times when I most need...

My cuz' Kels was the most amazing person I've ever met. There was absolutely nothing ordinary about her. Kelsey's humor, her personality, her compassion and her unbelievable gifts and talents in the arts were only a fraction of the wonderful person she was.
Sean,.. I am truly heartbroken so I cannot imagine what you feel. I'm praying for you. I will miss her so much, my whole life.

Sean,

Sally just sent me the notice. My heart goes out to all of you. I'm sitting here remembering sitting around the pool with all our kids just "hangin' out" and having fun.

Sally and the boys will also drop you a note. Our thoughts are with you.

Dear Sean,
I've followed Kelsey's amazing story through your many heartfelt emails and have been deeply touched by this lovely person whom I never knew. How wonderful for those whose lives she blessed. Her gifts to you are certainly forever.
Best,

Dear Sean,

It is very diffficult to write in this situation as I am sure that you are experiancing tremendous grief in this time of sorrow. I only know of Kelsey through your kind words of her and Stephen and I am deeply saddened at this news. You and your family will be in my prayers and always remember that Thursday nights were always more than simply basketball. I am here if you need anything. Doug C.

"Daughter Delight"

I savor her as a wisp of cotton candy.

She escapes the hand-held conical net and evaporates into the spinning-wheel tub of whimsy and whirling temperment.

She re-emerges, transformed in my view, encore after encore.

I hope God never runs out of sugar and pink syrup!
