Time hasn't softened the pain of losing you , my only comfort is now a picture with your smile, you shined brighter than anyone ive known, because you were always so down to earth yet showed you could soar when you chose. Im only human like you trying to make it threw this life ,you once said.That you never judged ,even if being judged yourself...showed those who knew you, you were someone special , you cant be replaced and not a day goes by that you're not crossing my mind , sometimes its tears , but mostly I smile. Knowing you made me a better person, thank you my angel , my friend .....Ill see you in my dreams and I can hug you and tell you all the reasons I miss you, but its really, just for you being you.

To Kelly's family and friends, you do not know me. I am the aunt of Kelly Burk whose spirit we honor in the Something For Kelly foundation. Somehow your Kelly found us and our little group meant something to her for obvious reasons.

I know the pain is so deep right now. Words cannot describe it.

The light of your beautiful Kelly is still shining brightly. I can see in the other comments what a kind and loving woman she was. She clearly touched the lives of many.

With our most sincere condolences,

Shocked and deeply hurt by your passing Kelly. My words do me no good here, i can't even believe this. You saved my life, brought me back from being jaded and the love you expressed for your family and Anna especially left a lasting impression on me. I'm lost without your smile , your spirit and your friendship. For your family i pray every day that the hurt softens and they smile when they realize the many people you helped who inturn gave birth to their own children and are living life happy because of you and the effect your person had on us. You'll never be far from any of us you gave a piece of your heart to and you had the biggest heart i knew .
