I was deeply saddened to read of Kelly's death. I knew her through volunteering for the Champlain Valley Folk Festival and was always delighted with Kelly and her boundless energy, working wherever she was needed, always with that gorgeous smile and laugh. It's been years since I last saw her, but I am still very sad by this news. She was a wonderful person.

Dearest King Family,
Kelly will be missed. She lit up a room with her energy. Our homeschooling years were made richer by her presence at so many activities. She impacted many and was such an important part of many communities here in Vermont and beyond.
Sending our love to your family.

Dear Barry, Elizabeth, Sarah, Ben, Noah, and Lucy - Bob and I (Nicole's mom and step-dad) share your sorrow at the passing of your dear wife, mom, and daughter. Kelly was a dear, compassionate soul - I feel very fortunate to have known her for even such a short time. She has been a wonderful sister-in-law to my daughter and a magical aunt to my grandchildren. We will all miss her - but her spirit lives on in you and especially her children. Much love to you all - we will be keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
love, Shelley Dixon-Williams
