Dear Kellie,
You visited me in my dreams last night like you often do. We were walking through the city talking and laughing about nothing in particular. It’s strange to think that it’s been more than 15 years since we called each other “best friend” and yet I still feel you so close. It makes me sad that I never got a chance to rekindle our friendship after life pushed us in different directions. I can only hope that someday we will meet again. You are a beautiful person and will always be counted among the best of friends. Thanks for keeping me company… don’t stop!
Miss you like crazy and love you always,
Laura

Kellie-
It has been a year today since you left our world. I knew you only a short time but what an impact you made in my life in that time. This past year I have found my thoughts going back to you and your strength and positive attitude. Many times I used your memory to help me get through personal conflicts, I remembered your stregth and your witty loving attitude. I have been touched by an angel and have come to realize how rare this truely is. I am blessed by the meer memory of you and use your memory as a ray of hope for eternal happiness, I knew no one who smiled quite like you. Thank you for being such a wonderful mentor and leaving a lasting impression on my soul. I am forever grateful. We miss you much and often, I hope heaven is treating you well.
All my love-

Kellie,
We didn't get to spend enough time together, but the time we did share was nice. I will never forget your smile or your wit. You deserved so much more. I love you.

I still miss you so much, their is not a day goes by that I don't think about you.. We talk abut you all the time at work, and it is so fun to remember how much joy you brought to all of us.How you always made us laugh with things that you said or just faces you made.You would be in heaven here on earth , because we have a Starbucks coffee shop on the first floor at work. I will have a cup for you, just in case they don't have a Starbucks there in heaven. Now make
sure that you keep everything straight up there in heaven and I will work on it here.. See ya again..

Kellie,
It's been a month, and I'm still speachless. I keep searching for words and find nothing. I'm just doing my best to think about the little things, Watching Law & Order, and chowing on the Breadsticks from Fazolie's (the best). Kellie, I'm sure you know but I must say it anyway, We love you, and miss you. "Rock On" -H

It has been one month today that you were taken from us and it still dosen't seem real. The whole family agrees, you were the most loving, giving, generous person and had a bigger heart than anyone we knew.
The kids miss you, love you, and will never forget you. I know that you will be watching over them and for that I am grateful. No one took care of them like you!
You were the best sister a girl could ask for and I am grateful to have been yours for 23 years. I love you Kellie Louise!

It's almost a month since you left us Kellie and I still cry at the thought of you being gone.
I buried Mary Jo today and I know that the two of you are together again. Mary Jo and I loved you and respected you and would have been proud to have had you as a daughter-in-law. Kevin has not had the necessary time to grieve with all that has happened this month but he knows as I know that you are with him, your family and friends.
You were a ray of sunshine everytime you entered our home. Our home may be a little darker at this moment but the sun will rise again tomorrow and you both will be the rays that light up our lives.
I miss you and Mary Jo so very much. The memories that you and Mary Jo have left Kevin and I will comfort us always.

I am a friend of Kirt and Melodys. My sympathy goes out to them and to the family. I know that during these times it is comforting to feel the love of those around us. A woman in my ward once told me of her observation that mourning with those who mourn works similarly to the atonement. When we see and feel others mourning with us they help carry our burden. I believe it is possible that some days we do not have to cry so much because we have so many crying with us or sometimes when we see others cry for our pain we feel the freedom to turn off the brave face and cry ourselves. My sorrow and love go with all of the Nelsons. May it and our Saviors love help ease your burden.

Neal and family,
Words can't express how sorry all of LMSB is in Denver to hear of this tragedy of tragedies. We can't imagine how one recovers from something like this. Please know that our prayers and sympathies are with you and your family and Kelly's friends. May the aweful pain pass as quickly as possible and only the lovely memories of such a beautiful girl remain! Take care...

I have been trying to think of what to say to both Kellie's loving family and her never-to-be forgotten boyfriend. Eleven days after the tragedy I am still dumb-founded in what to say except that I, nor anyone she knew and touched, will ever forget her and her beautiful smile. She brought so many people up to her level of perfection that it is hard to believe that her perfection is gone. Kellie, you will be remembered in our hearts and minds forever. One day we will meet again and talk.
P/S (When you know who gets up there with you, will you keep him in line?)
Peace.

Nelson's were my neighbors while I was growing up in Bountiful. I had grown and moved out of the house before Kelli was born. But looking at her picture, she looks just like her Mother. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Thank you for all the support you have given me and my family through the years.

About a year ago, my family and I had the wonderful opportunity of getting to know Kellie. Her mere presence brightened our days that we spent with her. She made everyone around her feel special. Thanks for putting up with our snowmobile trip, Kellie . . . what a sport! We love you and we will miss you.

I miss you so much Kellie. Things aren't the same without you here. However, your positive influence on me will always be felt. I know that you made a difference in so many lives. You have truly touched mine and I don't think you'll ever understand how much of a change you made. I am a better person because of you. I hope that I can emulate the passion for life that you had. I look forward to the day that I will see you again. We will laugh and play just like we did here. You had such a gift for making people feel so important and loved. So many times you reminded me that God loves us so much. I will always remember you and cherish the time that were able to hang out. Kellie, you are beautiful and I look up to you so much. You were truly a gift in my life that I'm so grateful for. Until we meet again,
Love,
Kurt "Squirty"

Kelly was my best friend @ the time of her very untimely, tragic,
unbelievable death. I'm a walking
basket case, I can't sleep at night,
having a very hard time eating,I just can't figure it all out. I was
just with her, sitting,having our precious girl talk, she had just stayed the night with me a couple of weeks ago, as we stayed up till the weeeee hours of the morning talking and watching t.v....,I keep asking myself why my Kelly?, And why
couldn't I be there to help her. Kelly, I can't believe that I'm not going to see you or hear your voise again, at least not for a while. I miss you so much, it's killing me inside. your all I think about. I love you, and just know that you now are free of all the pain that this world can deal out. all worries gone.And you Kelly now will have eternal beauty... I Love You!
Your best-friend,

I went to school with Kellie from Jr. High - High School. When I found out about Kellie's tragedy I could not believe it. I remember Kellie so well. She was always so positive and happy. Always had a smile on her face and was so full of life. She will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her.

My Dearest Sweet Kellie, Roberta and Family,
My Heart so aches with the loss of not having Sweet Kellie here with us longer. How grateful I am for our Savior holding Kellie for us. Kellie was MY smile showing up on her face. My laughter when mine wouldn't come out. A true second pair of hands for twin babies and a load full of small children and so much to do. Kellie, you are he best. You ARE an angel...In beauty, in spirit, always. I love you. My children, McGavin, Ashleigh, Colton, Brooklyn and Danielle love you. McGavin will be eternally grateful for your friendship and sweet spirited help.
"Insomuch as ye have done so much for any and all of us, Ye have done it unto me"...That's our Kellie!
Love Forever, Jewelya and Family

With great saddness and sorrow.

First of all, my heart is in pain for all of the many friends and family that kellie leaves behind. Second, I want you all to know, we will see her again, and she is and will alway's be with us, if we just believe, and keep her in our thoughts and prayers. I recently became aquainted with her, but it's amazing how someone can touch you and brighten your life in such a short time, and I knew from the moment I met her, that she truly is one in a million, and one of the "Angels Among Us"...
If I can ever do anything for the family, please do not hesitate to contact me by email: ([email protected])
And I will then give you my phone
number and address. Remember, "Families can be together forever"... I know she'll remain with me FOREVER...
Love,
Brandon.

Neal, Roberta, and Family-
I just wanted to send my love and deepest regards to you during this tragic time. Kellie will be missed, but will continue to live on in all of us. She'll always have a special place in my heart. I'm deeply thankful for all the love, kindness, & friendship Kellie freely gave to me starting back in Jr. High. I consider myself extremely blessed for having her in my life. I'm also grateful for the knowledge and peace the gospel brings, and that we will see Kellie again. She was one of a kind!
Your family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Luv always....

I am truly shocked by the loss of Kellie. I had the pleasure of working with Kellie in the BMT clinic/unit. Kellie was the epitome of a professional/competent co-worker. I know she made a huge difference in the lives of our patients. She always asked me about my boys and shared stories about her nieces and nephews. She was beautiful--inside and out. I will miss her terribly. My prayers are with her family and anyone who feels the loss. I love you Kellie, Marie

I met Kellie when she was working in the Bone Marrow Transplant Clinic at the University Hospital. We had many happy hours talking about makeup and wigs (I am her belly dancer friend)and we loved being dramatic together. I appreciated her intelligence as well as her beauty, and her willingness to work hard. May the holidays bring peace and comfort to you, and my all of your questions be answered soon. With much love and sympathy,

I met Kellie through our mutual good friend Megan Nichols. I remember all the girls nights out going country dancing with her and all the sleepovers. She always made us laugh! She is such a beautiful & friendly girl and always made our nights out more fun and interesting with her outgoing personality. I know that she will always be remembered by many whom she came in contact with, including myself. I pray for you all during this difficult time that you may feel the love and peace that the Comforter has for you.

I have been truely sick the past few days over the loss of Kellie. I cannot comprehend the anguish the Nelson family must be feeling. I knew Kellie from my old neighborhood growing up in Bountiful. I remember her at school and church. How blue her eyes are.
I am truely sorry for the loss of such a wonderful person. The world is truely less bright for now. I know that the Lord walks with her and holds her in his arms. Please put your strength in the Lord. He will comfort you, and Kellie will be with you always.

How can you possibly put into words what an impact a person like Kellie can make on your life? You can't, it's indescribable. She was a ray of sunshine at work, and she had a very powerful personality. She will be greatly missed; Kellie, we love you.

I can't believe that little Kellie is gone. The heavens have received a jewel. I was so jealous that Amy had a Kellie and I didn't, growing up in a houseful of brothers. I always wanted a little sister just like Kellie. Her little face was so round and cute and she always wore a lacey dress on Sunday.
I haven't seen or known Kellie since 1989, but I am sure she is every bit as wonderful as when I knew her. She has awesome parents. I love you Berta! My thoughts and prayers have been with you since Monday. I know Kellie is being loved and cherished by so many! Families are Forever.

You don't know me, nor I you but feel compelled to write and express my condolences. I, too, know the heartache and gut wrenching pain that is felt at the loss of a child. My 18 yr old daughter, also named Kelli, was tragically killed on Sept. 14 of this year. It seems as though she was very much like your Kellie. So friendly, outgoing, non-judgemental, and would light up a room with her dimpled smile. We miss her desperately. I share your heartache and simply wanted to express that there are others out there who know some of what you are going through and it's not easy, especially at this time of the year. I wish you all the strength and courage that you will need to make it through the services in the next few days, and hope you can find comfort and feel the love of others as we celebrate our Savior's birth. My heart is with you as you begin your journey through the grief and pain. It is the hardest road I've every been down.
Sincerely, Leanne

Words can not say how sorry we are for the Nelson family. Kellie was such a great part of the Peterson/Nelson Family and I know my family will agree with me when I say she "is" an amazing person. She was always there to help us out and to make us smile. We are truly grief stricken. Know your family is in our thoughts and prayers. We love you all so very much!
