Dear Auntie Megan and Uncle Mark, Marky and Maxwell,

Kelly was my friend and I learned from 'Finding Neverland' that I have her memories written on the pages of my imagination. And that every time I sing "Thank You" I cry and I think of Kelly. I love you. I hope to see you soon.

April 15, 2004

Dear Megan & Mark, we loved Kelly very much and we miss her sooooo much. Kelly was one of the best friends we ever had. We pray for you and your family. We love both of you. One time, when we were in 3rd grade, we went to Book's Family Farm. We went through the corn maze and got lost. All the girls separated. I was stuck with Kelly, which was a good thing. We went through every aisle until we finally found Melissa who always thought that she knew her way but we got even more lost. It was funny in one way but in another way, scary. After a while, we heard voices. We ran as fast as we could to see them and it was the class screaming and shouting for us. (Elisa) Kelly was a great friend and had a smile on every single day. I remember when she always put on make-up and brushed her hair in class. It was so funny. (Jonelle) Love, Jonelle & Elisa

Michelle, Jeffrey & Alyssa Berry

Mark, Megan & Boys:

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. We had the pleasure of getting to know Kelly while our daughter Alyssa attended Kings Christian. Kelly was such a sweetheart and we truly enjoyed her. She was such a wonderful friend and example. Even though Alyssa did not attend Kings this year, she thought and spoke of both Kelly and Melissa often. May you find comfort in knowing that she is with Jesus. Our hearts, thoughts & prayers are with you all.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Fitzpatrick and boys,



I had the opportunity to meet Kelly at my granddaughter's (Alyssa Berry) birthday party last year. As I reviewed the photos that were taken that day, my heart broke for your loss. Alyssa loved Kelly and Melissa so much. Your testimony for Christ is wonderful! I am so glad Megan that you reached out to Carmen. What a wonderful woman you are, and all to the glory of God! We all put ourselves in Carmen's place, and even though I don't know her, I ache for her and pray for her. May God bless your family and I thank God for His gift of Kelly to you and all of the lives she touched. You remain in my prayers. In Christ,

Although we never knew Kelly in person we know by looking at her picture that she was "an angel among us" Sometimes we wonder why these thing's happen and why your family has to go thru the pain of the loss of a child..we believe that God needed a very special angel and that is why Kelly is with him now. Hold tight to your beautiful memories for they will substain you in the days ahead. Know that your family is in our hearts and prayers and that Kelly has left foot print's on the hearts of all who knew her and did not get the honor of meeting her.......God's Blessing's

I still vividly remember Kelly looking SO beautiful on our wedding day when she honored us with being our flower girl....she was so happy to be a part of our day and looked like a beautiful angel. She continued to be grow in that very same light and is still shining bright - now up in heaven! She will NEVER be forgotten and we feel blessed to have known her. I will never forget when she was a baby and I would get to "pretend" she was mine while I watched her. Thank you - thank you for allowing her blessed life to touch ours.



We sincerely wish we could take away your pain. God Bless you.



Love, Melanie, Scott, Brian, Jake and little Madelyn on the way :o)

A Rose



Near shady wall a rose once grew,

Budded and blossomed in God's free light,

Watered and fed by the morning dew,

Shedding its sweetness day and night.



As it grew and blossomed fair and tall,

Slowly rising to loftier height,

It came to a crevice in the wall

Through which there shone a beam of light.



Onward it crept with added strengh

With never a thought of fear or pride,

It followed the light through the crevice's length

And unfolded itself on the other side.



The light, the dew, the broadening view

Were found the same as they were before,

And it lost itself in beauties new,

Breathing it's fragrance more and more.



Shall claim of death cause us to grieve

And make our courage faint and fall?

Nay! Let us faith and hope receive--

The rose still grows beyond the wall,



Scattering fragrance far and wide

Just as it did in days of yore,

Just as it did on the other side,

Just as it will forevermore.



From the writings of A.L. Frink

"I'll lend you for a little time a child of Mine," He said,

"For you to love the while he lives and mourn for when he's dead,

It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three,

But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for Me?

He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and shall his stay be brief

You'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief.



"I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return,

But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.

I've looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true

And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes I have selected you.

Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labor vain,

Nor hate me when I come to call to take him back again?"



I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord, Thy will be done."

For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run.

We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may

And for the happiness we've known forever grateful stay;

But shall the angels call for him much sooner than we've planned,

We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand."



My thoughts and prayers are with you as you travel this very difficult road of grief.
