Chelsea, you are so loved and missed. Love you, buddy.
This photo is from Chelsea's graduation party/annual Christmas party and is one of my favorite pics we have. We used the self-timer on an iphone to get this shot. Chelsea was so loved (as evidenced by our Chelsea sandwich!!). It was amazing to see her walk across the stage and earn her Bachelors degree. I'll never forget the smile on her face!

Chelsea was a special person to me. We became close friends and actually went on a few dates during my time at IUP. It was a blessing to know her for that short time. Even when she left IUP,I still thought about her and prayed for her. Heather and Brian, I would love to meet you sometime to express my condolences in person. She is gone but never forgotten, and will always have a little place in my life.

I want to extend my deepest sympathy to all of Chelsea's family. I am so sorry to hear that her heroic fight came to an end way too soon. I first met her at the preschool where I worked along with her Grandma Peg. I have followed her battle and ups and downs through the years by way of my friendship with Peg. I have been out of town since last week and will unfortunately miss her service. You are all in my thoughts and prayers and I will be in touch soon. May God give you all strength during this difficult time.

Chelsea was one of my high school close friends. Me, her, & a group of girls would sit at the lunch table together. She was funny, positive, upbeat, & one of the best friends I ever had. She made my high school experience worth it. I still can't believe she's gone. Chelsea was so special & I miss her terribly. My condolences go to all of her family & friends. She was an amazing person who didn't have to go through such pain. Thank you for everything, Chels. I love you & miss you .

My children and I met Chelsea a long time ago when Heather brought her to Medmark for "Bring your child to work day". I worked in the same company as Heather for many years and tried my best to get updates on Chelsea every opportunity I could. I was very saddened to hear of her passing. My family and I send our deepest condolences to you and yours.
May she rest peacefully.

Chelsea was 4 years old when Heather became the childcare provider for Curran (and later Clare). She was like a sister to my girls when they were little, and they grew up together for a while. We are all so sad to hear of her passing. She was such a sweet, kind person.
