We had a lot of great times with Kerry in high school days. Will never forget the times in my Chevelle with the crew. I reconnected with Kerry on facebook for a short time not too long ago and was shocked to hear the news about her and also a close friend Kevin who also passed this weekend. Life is short, enjoy the time we have left. RIP Kerry

I am so very sad to learn of Kerry's sudden passing. I have many fond memories of Kerry from when we were kids. There was no one I would have rather rocked Skate Land East with back in the day. It was great to be re-connected recently after so many years. My heart goes out to her entire family.

To the Kokolakis family, sending prayers & strength to get through this unbearable time. I was fortunate enough to grow up with Kerry so I have many fond memories of her. Kerry was a beautiful girl, both inside & out. She always wore a beautiful smile to school that she greeted everyone with. Kerry's smile could light up a room. She was always so kind & such a sweet girl. I was happy when we reconnected again after all these years. I enjoyed all the chats we had throughout the years & all of the laughs we shared. Kerry always had something nice & positive to say to all the lives that she touched & she will be missed. That's the image that resonates in my mind & always will. That's the way I will always remember & think of Kerry. A true tragedy to see such a special girl leave this world far too soon, but Kerry's kindness & spirit will live on through the lives she touched. It was an honor to have known such a special girl. My deepest condolences to all the family & friends of Kerry.
