Kelligar Neal Obituary

Not many days go by without my thinking of Kelligar. I have the photo of her in her white dress sitting at the red piano of Elton John next to my desk. She lives on in my heart.

Remembering Kelli - can't believe so many years have gone by. It's seems like yesterday Kelli, Tristan and Aidan were all such young children. I love all the memories!! So beautiful!! We miss all of you Ursula, Kevin, Kelli, Tristan and Aidan! Kelli is such a beautiful soul and her life so many and still does. We know that life seems to fly by so quickly at times but time stands still with memories. We remember so many of them. A lot of fun times were had. :) We love all of you! May God bless all of you and I know that Kelli is in heaven and still with us in a different and beautiful way everyday - shining brightly always. We always keep all of you in our prayers. Kelli we love you! You are singing and rejoicing with the angels!

I cant believe its been so long...I still think about her all the time. Kelli was such a beautiful soul, and I am so grateful I had the chance to know her. She has, and continues, to inspire me to be a stronger, kinder person. I truly dont think I will ever meet someone quite as special, and I can only hope we are making her proud.

We love and miss Kelli. Always remembering Kelli as well as Ursula, Kevin, Tristan and Aidan. Our hearts go out to you. Can't believe how the time flies but we never forget the beautiful soul and beautiful person - Kelli. We pray for Kelli and all her family always and remember her beautiful smile. I remember she saw the angels while still on earth. Now she is with the angels everyday. Kelli - you are so special and touched all of us in many ways. Always remembering.... Much Love Always - The Hoslers (Linda, Rick, Nate and Marissa)

I wonder what door will open now that this window has closed? I miss you so much. Mom

Dearest Kelli:

I remember you before you were ever born. Your mother radiated with beauty, laughter and charisma. Shortly after your birth, I visited you in the NICU and watched you through an incubator. We didn't think you would live to be 11 days, not 11 months..... and we got to steal you for 11 years. Your journey is such a success. You accomplished more than many people do in 80 years. Your family's love and those of your "outside" family will continue on for you, your mother, father and brothers. You have taught so many what it means to "LIVE LIFE". We will never forget you or what you have taught us; and what you have taught complete strangers. There was never a person who met you that didn't love you. Be at peace.... without pain.... and know we will continue on with your legacy.

Much love - Elaine Linderman

From the extended Bunnell Inc. family to Kelli’s Family:

We are humbled by everything Kelli accomplished in her short life with your incredible resolve, perseverance, and love. While her personal triumphs were most impressive, the inspiration she provided for so many of us both in and out of the medical care community is her legacy.

Many diligent people helped keep Kelli alive for her painfully short 11 years. Your spirits, determination, and love will keep Kelli alive in our hearts forever.

My thoughts and prays are with you.!

So sorry for your loss, she will be in our hearts and memories forever.
Thank you Kevin and Ursula for sharing her with us. Kay Steinmetz

Our hearts are broken with the loss of Kelli. Our lives were touched in a special way because of knowing her.
The world has lost an amazing girl, but heaven has gained an amazing angel. We love you Kelli.

Kevin, Ursula, Tristan and Aidan,
We are very saddened by the loss you feel. Kelli was an incredible and amazing gift from God. She has touched our lives, even though we never got to meet. The fact that we have the ability to do organ transplants is incredible. Please know that we are praying for you all!
God bless!

Kelli is sunshine with bright sunny smiles,
People knew her for miles and miles
She was blessed with a family that fought for her health,
They did all they could and should feel no guilt
So many have been touched by her strong cheery spirit
We will always remember and feel and hear it.

I'll always miss you, Kelli! You were an amazing person. You were so funny and sweet!

Dear Kevin, Ursula, Tristan and my dear sweet Aidan,
My heart is broken for all of you. The loss is truly immeasurable. That little girl never let me get past her without her flagging me down and trying to get my attention just so she could say hello. I will forever miss and remember her beautiful smile.
Much love,
Alana
