July 11, 2007
Rooney Family-
it has officially been one year since Mrs. Rooney's passing and I am so grateful for knowing her. She was so kind and loving. Her smile was the best. Going on vacation with you guys was fun and eveything I have done, which is a lot. Going over your house every other day was a pleasure and seeing Mrs. Rooney was one too. She always had a funny story or comment to make which brightened my day. Hanging with you all was such an enjoyment and making new discoveries was one too.She was a great mom and friend. She was so nice and would invite anyone to your home and would feel welcomed. Always seeing the neighborhood at your home was cool and noticing that everyone felt welcome, in the midst of a storm or on a hot summer day. She always was prepared for the worst, with much swiss farms for a year. I thank you for letting me know her and giving me the chance and oppertuinity.

My heartfelt sympathy to the O'Brien and Rooney Families. My compassion to Sean and deepest feelings for his girls, Quinn, Haley, Molly, and Casey; and his son Jack. I personally know the grief you feel. I hope you find comfort in the words of a poem written by a friend of mine.
It reads:
"I AM"
The "I" that is Me___You cannot see
You see only the form that you think is Me.
This form that you see will not always be;
But the "I" that is Me___lives eternally.
Sincerely,
Ruth

Dear Sean and Family:
I am a member of St. Katharine's and was so saddened to learn of your loss. While I don't know you, I did go to Gwynedd Mercy Academy and my mom, Terry Fitzsimmons, who led a chapter of Compassionate Friends, knew your Mom and Dad well. I want you to know that I am praying for you and extend my help to you and your family in any way you need. If it's any comfort to you and your children, know that Kelly will be with you now more than ever and I hope that you will know and feel her presence in your lives. God bless you. -Anne Marie (Fitzsimmons) Hughes

Even though it has been a number of years since I last saw Kelly, I have a vivid memory of a person who lived life to the fullest while expressing kindness and humour towards everyone she met. Sean was certainly her soulmate, and together they formed a large family that reflected the type she'd been born into herself- a big, joyful Irish clan. Kelly will live on in spirit, as she had such a bright spirit in life. Sean, my deepest sympathies go out to you, your children and the O'Brien's... Kelly was a rare individual from a rarer family who taught her well how to freely give the gift of love. God bless her.

Sean and Family, Mari, Obie and all of the O'Brien's,
I am so sorry for your loss. Kelly was such a blessing and gift in my life throughout our high school and college years. I know that she blessed the lives of all those who came in contact with her. When I talked to her a few months ago she told me that she had the best life of anyone on earth. Kelly deserved nothing less. I pray that God will bring your family comfort in the coming days and that the memories of Kelly will always bring a smile to your faces as the memories of my years spent with her do for me.
Love,
Katy (Hoch) Rogers

On our flight from West Palm the day after Super Bowl, there was a beautiful woman herding her lively family onto the plane - her charisma and energy could have lifted the plane...we learned that she was celebrating the win of her favorite team and going for treatment upon landing...may her incredible spirit live on in all she touched...what an angel of a lady!

Dear Pat and members of Kelly's family. Pat often spoke of Kelly during her dental visits. Kelly sounded like a beautiful woman with GREAT courage! We here at Pat's dental office were so saddened to hear that Kelly passed. You all took great care of her, loved her very much, and did so much for those with cancer. We ask that God take care of you during this time and fill you with his love
