I still think of you so often Kerry, and of all the things you taught me about the world in our childhood. I remember playdates at your home and mine and jumping on a trampoline with you and your sister. You are missed and remembered.

My heart is so sad, I want to express my deepest sympathy to Kerry's family and friends. She was such a beautiful soul who freely shared her dazzling smile and warm heart with those around her. She did so much, and touched so many people in her short time on earth. She will be dearly missed.

Dear O'Reilly family & Eric,
I only met Kerry once, earlier this summer at Laura's bridal shower, but I could tell how lovely she was right away. Keeping you all in my prayers as you try and cope with this devastating loss.

Kerry O'Reilly was a pure heart. Beautiful inside and out.
I met her when I was 18 years old, and she brightened my world for 13 brilliant years.
Our friendship formed during the period where you learn who you are. Together, we grew from college freshman to graduates to city twenty-somethings to young professionals to adults. We became women in that vibrant time, and Kerry's caring, humor, patience, quirkiness, adventure, sincerity, and kindness profoundly impacted my life. Only Kathleen, whom she loved more than anyone else, has the honor of calling Kerry sister.' Still, for me, Kerry felt like family. She was my college roommate, my Boston roommate, my bridesmaid, my confidant, my barometer, my champion, my dearest, dearest friend.
Kerry was stolen from us at summer's end in the summer of her life. She could not wait to marry her devoted fiancé, Eric, and continue to build a home with him. Her life was in full, glorious bloom, and she was her happiest in this final year. To lose such a genuine human being is utterly shattering. Nothing will ever be the same.
I celebrate my friend. Kerry was an intellect, a feminist, a soprano, a musical theatre enthusiast, a politico, a traveler, a hiker, a tv junkie, a Capricorn, an accountant, a Janeite, a Swiftie, a dog lover, a wit, a beauty, and always on trend :) Her sweetness touched so many lives with quiet grace. It was a blessing to know her.
My heart is broken. Thank you, Kerry, for lighting up this earth. I love you.

Dear friends and family of Kerry, our thoughts from across the Pond in the UK are with you all at this time. I didn't personally know Kerry, but I have worked with HarbourVest a number of years and understand from her work colleagues that she is such a lovely person and a great asset to our team.
Thoughts and prayers with you.
Kind wishes

Dearest Kerry
I work with your Dad and he regaled us with stories of his family. I know how much you were loved and am heartbroken that you were taken from them. May God keep you in his arms and may your family see you in the sunsets.
With much love,
Christina Muccioli
