Keri and I became friends through Irish Dance. Her smile would light up a room. She gave me a sense of peace whenever I was around her. She was always so positive and had a kind word for everyone. My heart goes out to her family. She will be greatly missed. God Bless You Keri.

I didn't work with Keri long, but I enjoyed the short time I spent with her. She always spoke about her family - it was clear that she loved them very much. Please accept my sincere condolences. Keri will certainly be missed at Newton-Wellesley.

Tim, I'm so very sorry for this tragic loss. You, the children, and Keri are in my thoughts. I know you have a good strong family, but if there's anything at all that I can do for you, just say the word and I'll drive right up to Boston.

To Keri's Family, so sorry to hear of the loss of such an amazing person. We knew Keri as a teenager growing up in Pittsford. She along with our children, attended Pittsford Menden High, member of Transfiguration Church and active in the youth group, Destiny. Always willing to help with any project and always with a smile on her face. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Tim and Children,
Keri was an amazing person. Her smile was contagious and her laughter was delightful. What a sweetheart. I loved our times walking Lizzie and Lucky together and spending time outside on Chatham Road. Peter and I are here for all of you and will be checking in from up the street to see how we can help all of you.

Tim, Catherine, Nicholas, and Alison, my very sincere condolences for your huge loss.
I worked with Keri for a short time at Newton-Wellesley Hospital and she was simply a joy to be around, truly a remarkable human being. We will truly miss her kind spirit and bright smile at NWH.
She spoke of you all often and was so proud of her family. I am certain that she will be watching over all of you. I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I am a fellow "dance mom" with Keri. She was always so proud of her children and always had positive words to say about all of the dancers. Her smile and constant words of encouragement will be missed. Rest in peace.

To the entire Saunder's O'Brien Family,
We are absolutely stunned by hearing this news.
Keri was one of the most warm, sweet, nice, and
you can continue on and on with the nice adjectives. But the most important thing she was (was a Daughter, Wife, Mother and of course a very good friend that has touched us ALL)
Please accept our deepest condolences. She will be missed by everyone. Tim, feel free to reach out anytime. Know we are so here to talk, Help, whatever.....Words cannot even express how we feel, and how you feel. She will continue to remain in our HEARTS forever.
Mark Diamond and Stacey Whiteman and Family

I knew Keri from BU. She was always someone I wanted to be around - smart and interesting and asked good questions. She was the first person I knew to describe linear regression in a real-world environment as "cool." I'm sad she's no longer with us. I hope to make the funeral tomorrow.

I was one of Keri's tennis friends. I got the opportunity to play with her many times. Keri was the best kind of doubles tennis player - she was a great hitter but more importantly, someone you wanted on your team because you could count on her. She always came with a smile and good cheer and a strong forehand. I will think of her whenever I am on the court. You are all in my thoughts.

I knew Kerri from work. She was a very helpful person, and interested in a verity of things. But most of all, Kerri was interested in people, and none more so than her family. She expressed her love for her children and husband freely, and wanted to be an involved parent and family member as much a possible. She was community minded, and had a strong faith. I know she is received now with the angels. She is missed here at work. I will remember her smile, her ability to great you by name, and her gentle nature. Sending comforting thoughts and prayers to you, her family. May God bless you

Our family is saddened by the loss of Keri. Keri was our daughters' soccer coach last year on a Newton Girls' Soccer's Team Energy. She was such a nice person - so encouraging and supportive of the girls on the team, and a great role model. I saw her a few months ago - she was driving down Newbury Street and honked at us and rolled her window down to say hi with a huge smile and warm greeting - that's how I will remember her. Although we only knew Keri a short time, it was a gift to have met her and we'll always remember her fondly. Tim, children and family are in our thoughts. Please accept our deepest sympathy. Liz, Rick, Caroline and Leah Blum
