On behalf of the Garrett Family I would like to express our condolences to all of Kelly's family and friends. My brother Jim and I spent a lot of good years with Kelly when she was teenage and I will always remember her with fond memories. This is a poem I thought you all might like....



In memory of Jim and Kelly...



Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow, but remember me in every tomorrow. Remember the joy, the laughter, the smiles. I've only gone to rest a little while. Although my leaving causes pain and grief, my going has eased my hurt and given me relief. So dry your eyes and remember me, not as I am now but as I used to be. Because, I will remember you all and look on with a smile. As long as I have the love of each of you, I can live my life in the hearts of all of you.
