Kelly, I never knew. I didn't know how courageous you were until it was too late. I thank you for touching my life and inspiring me. And most of all, for reminding me about what's really important in life - laughing and loving. To all your loved ones and friends, I send my thoughts and prayers. We'll miss you, Sweetie.

Kelly-- You are an inspiration to all of us for your fight against this disease. We had alot of good times together at Ohio State rowing and many years later. I wish I could have been with you, Duane and your family at the end so that I could have helped in some small way. My sincerest condolences!
I will miss you my good friend-- Angels go with you Kelly!
Love you--

I only had the privledge of knowing Kelly for a little over a year. From the day I met her, she was such a kind and caring soul. For the short time that I knew her, she was so full of life and spunk! I will always remember her as someone who was full of laughter, strength and love. My prayers are with Duane and the family as they navigate through this difficult time.

Kelly was my personal trainer here at Nationwide and quite possibly one of the sweetest most caring people I've met. I'm so sad to hear she is no longer with us, but yet so glad to have called her my friend & known her if only for a brief time.

I feel so priviledged to have known Kelly. She was a wonderful human being, so caring, so giving, so loving, a devoted friend. I will think of her often, and her love & devotion to Duane, her family & friends was something others can learn from. She was loved by many, including myself, and I will cherish the memories I have of her.

To everyone who was privileged to have spent time with Kelly during her last days, I want to express my deepest gratitude and sympathy for all you did and continue to do. Duane, you were a rock - a beautiful example of caring and love. Mom and Dad - you have never been braver or more giving. Karla - you continue to make me so proud to be your sister. And Jack, Rose, Mel, Jo Ann - you were all just wonderful. Thank you very much. I will miss Kelly more than I can say, but having you all around has made this difficult time a much more bearable experience and one I will never forget. Thanks also must go to the incredible staff at Kobacker House. Your kind attention to Kelly and to the rest of our family was very greatly appreciated.
