Dear Bob, Anne, Brian & Family,

I am so very sorry to hear about Kelly's passing. She was the sweetest girl and had the most beautiful spirit and infectious smile. I have so many fond childhood memories of Kelly...she was such a big part of our neighborhood and we are all better for knowing her and being in our lives. I'll always remember her having so much fun sleeping over, dancing and eating pickles in our basement. I will never forget her. You were great parents to her and Brian was the best brother.
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
Rest in peace Kelly.

Love, Kristin Armbruster

Bob, Anne and Brian,
I'm so sorry to hear about Kelly. Most of my childhood memories of Pennway St are with Kelly in them. She was a wonderful friend and always full of happiness and laughter. She was certainly one of the best friends I ever had. The Buchinskys were blessed to have you as next door neighbors. My deepest sympathies.

Dear Anne,Bob,Brian and family,L
I am so sorry to hear that your darling Kelly passed away. Remembering the Penway Gang and Kelly's beautiful smile brings back the happiest memories. Kelly made us all better people just by her presence. Whenever she came to visit it was like a ray of sunshine to spend time with her. All of her childhood friends were fortunate to have Kelly in their lives and I think they all were aware of that. Brian was the best big brother and to you, Anne & Bob, thank you for sharing your sweet girl with us. I bet Heaven is a happier place already.
Love and peace, Geri Armbruster

Mr and Mrs. McCollough and Brian, Jen and kids, on behalf of my mom and me, I'd like to extend our deepest sympathies on Kelly's passing. I was so sad to hear. All of you are in our prayers. You were very supportive when my father and brother passed and I want you to know if there is anything we could do we will. Kelly was such a beautiful soul and I can't think of my childhood with Brian without thinking of Kelly. God Bless

Bob, Anne & Brian,

So sorry to hear of Kelly's passing but I see her smiling with Nanny, Aunt Dot & Uncle Walt, Aunt Jean & Uncle Moe, Uncle Bob (Smokey) and my Dad. Take comfort knowing she is with family in heaven. I wish Mom and I could come home to attend the service but it's just not possible. I am the cantor at Mass on 19 OCT and I will dedicate this mass to all of you and especially Kelly. Love and prayers!

Dear Anne & Bob,
We are all so sad and shocked to hear this news. Just last week we were watching home movies of Pennway St. and of course, there was Kelly and Jennifer in their yellow ducky tap dance costumes. So beloved and precious are these memories. We heard of this news as we are traveling several hours north for the next few days and we will not be able to attend her service. Our thoughts, prayers, fond memories of your family will be in our hearts and prayers. May you find comfort in the memory of what a sweet girl Kelly truly was and, most especially, peace for being the best Mother and Father any child could ever hope for.
Love to All,
Pat and Rick Buchinsky

I miss her beautiful smile. I loved that Kelly always asked when bowling was over what was Bill and I going to do that afternoon. I enjoyed watching how excited she got when she bowled and got good scores. You will be missed.
