Jason, you were the love of Kelly's life. She loved you so much! I can still remember that late night talk when she told me about you. I remember her Christopher being born and her latest accomplishment, Emma, being announced to the world! She was and will always be loved by many. Thank you Jason, Chris, Emma, and The Baker family for sharing her with us. God Bless you and much Love.

It is so hard to believe that you are gone.....a sweet, sweet angel......I remember when I met you, I was a freshman at Klein Forest....you were an angel here on earth, now you are an angel in heaven.

God was walking through his Earthly garden & He picked his best flower which was you & took you back with Him......

This is not goodbye. It is see you later......

I hate I am not able to make the service due to work, however your family will be in my thoughts & prayers,....

You were loved by many & now you are so greatly, greatly missed by many.....

Rest in love my friend.....until we see each other again.....

Kelly and I connected (especially closer) over the last year through our mutual love and passion of photography and the outdoors. We always enjoyed each others eye through the lens. Kelly was taken too soon, but I am proud our paths crossed and I'm proud we became friends later in life. My heartfelt condolences go out to the Baker-Werkman families, to her husband Jason, and their beautiful daughter Emma. Emma, may you grow with peace knowing how loved you are and how your mothers legacy lives on through you. I will miss you Kelly, however I know you'll be right there with me looking through the lens, looking out to the snow covered mountains with a smile, listening to the quaking aspen. I have no doubt you'll be watching over all of the lives you've touched. Rest in peace sweet friend, you will not be forgotten...especially by me.

I am so sorry for your tragic loss of Kelly. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.

What a beautiful picture of Mother and Child. Kelly was the friend of my Daughter-in-Law, Jamie Greer McPherson. Jamie spoke of "my Kellybelle" so often. They had lunch, or visited with each other as much as their busy schedules would allow. I know that Jamie really misses Kelly, so I know that Kelly was a very special person in Jamie's life. I suspect she was loved by many, because she loved everyone, and cherished her children so much.
