Kelly was a light, a beautiful light! I continue to think of and pray for her loving family.
Peace be with you all a day at a time.

The Basso family offer our prayers and thoughts to all of Kelly's family. We were neighbors in Middletown and our sons grew up with Kelly and her siblings.
I remember a lovely girl, confident, energetic, full of life.
How blessed she was to marry and have her own 3 children. We will keep her husband, John, and the children in prayer as they move through horrendous grief of losing their mom.
Blessings, love, comfort to Norma, Sean and Family, Tara and family.

It is so hard for me to believe that dearest Kelly, so full of life, is gone. I remember when we were so young and she introduced me to Grease--changed my life! And years later, we all danced to "Greased Lightning" at her and John's wedding--one of my happiest memories. She was the lead Emerald Strider. Forever, when I think of Kelly, I will think of her smile and her energy. I am broken hearted that she is gone, but I will never have anything but the happiest memories of my dear cousin. May her memory be eternal.

My deepest sympathies to John, Julia, Sean, Anna and the rest of Kelly's family. Julia attended classes at our gymnastics center last year and it was a joy to see and talk to Kelly and Julia every week. I was shocked and saddened to hear this news. You all will be in my thoughts during this very difficult time

I am beyond heartbroken that my beautiful, effervescent, niece Kelly is gone. When Kelly was about ten years old, she spent part of the summer with us. It became our "Grease" summer. Kelly's love for the music from Grease permeated our days. There were Grease skits, costumes, singing and the big daily decision: what child could be "Sandy" that day. When I hear music from Grease, I still drift to that summer long ago and Kelly. May her memory be eternal.
