I didn't stay very close to Mike and Kelly after our time at BU but I will always value and treasure our friendship, TAing with Kelly, and dominating SED intramural teams. You both are amazing people and I'm lucky to have gotten to share some time with you. As Professor Tigner would say, Cheers!

Dear Wholey Family, Please accept my most sincere thoughts and prayers for all of you for the heartbreaking loss of the bright shining light in all of your lives !!! Her light will continue to shine down on all of you. The video is without a doubt "priceless". It will be a treasure for all of you to watch and with time bring only smiles !!! It took my breathe away as I watched and listened. Surely her husband and little handsome Danny Boy will relive the time they had with her and being able to hear her voice is a gift beyond. anything in this world. Dear Kara, there are absolutely no words to express my heart aching for you, Kelly's Mother, having to say goodbye to your own baby girl. Please know and surely your family has faith, as does mine........that you will meet again and she is in the company of her beautiful family that has gone before her completely at peace, no more suffering and watching over all of you !!!

MOST SINCERELY in Friendship,

Maryann

To Dan and Kara, Michael and Danny Boy and Mary Kate:
My life has indeed been blessed and enriched in knowing Kelly. As the former Director of Development and Alumnae Affairs at NDA there were many instances where Kelly was the always best volunteer for any event (She had a wonderful role model in her Mom, Kara, who was the "dream volunteer" for any and all events.) Kelly gave her all: on the basketball or tennis courts, in her leading roles as class officer, or just being present in her daily life. Her positive attitude was inspiring. She never gave up. We all now have our own "angel" in heaven.
Prayers for all the family.

To family and friends of Kelly my deepest sympathy and condolences. Kelly seemed like an awesome, loving person who lived life to the full and will truly be missed. May your warm memories of good times shared and your love of Kelly remain n your hearts.

Jacqueline Dufour

April 28, 2017

I last saw Kelly in May at the NDA Medallion Ceremony. She was holding her
precious Daniel and beaming with pride and mother love. I am saddened that he will grow up without her loving kindness.

I remember Kelly as loving, exuberant, kind, supportive, always with a smile on her face and so full of energy that it was catching. Though she was never my student, I could not help but appreciate everything she contributed to the school culture. The commencement speech she delivered a few years before I retired was a reflection of who she was: spiritual, interesting, positive, delightful.

Our world is truly a darker place since Kelly's "shining light" has gone out.

Heartfelt prayers for all who will miss her.

My heart aches for the entire Del Greco/McCarthy family and especially to Mike and Danny. The way Kelly handled her life should be an inspiration to us all. I know her courage, faith and love of her family in the face of this terrible disease we call cancer was and will continue to be an inspiration to me personally. She put up a valiant fight and I know she is now at peace. I know that she will be watching over her family. All Kelly's words from her gofundme page will always be with me, but today I want to quote just 5..."Go God and screw cancer". Rest in Peace Kelly.

Dan and family,
First of all like everyone, we are so sorry to have heard about Kelly, she is so beautiful and will always be beautiful. I have asked God to give me some words for you and the family and beautiful grandson.
The hardest part of losing someone is learning how to live without them, there is know time limit or certain way that this happens.
God will help you through all of this, just call on him, he is listening.
Celebrate Kellys life and all the good happy memories and laughs and wonderful times you had with her, though she had a short time here on earth with everyone. God needed her more for reasons we don't know.
Kelly fought the fight and she is in heaven at peace and smile knowing she is with all of you.
God be with all of you.

May her soul rest in peace. I pray with confidence in the mercy of the Heart of Jesus that she will be accompanied by all the Saints to her place of rest in the eternal home of the Father. May Our Lady of Sorrows grant you and your family the consolation and comfort that you all need in this time of grief.

Please know that I will continue to keep you all in my daily prayers before the Blessed Sacrament. Please know that you are accompanied by many prayers of many, many people who loved Kelly very dearly and I am humbled to be among them. I place each one of you through my daily supplication, into the hands of our holy Mother, the Virgin Mary.

With continued prayers, I remain yours in the Sacred Heart of Jesus,

I'm a fellow BU alumna, who did Admissions and was a Scarlet Key Honor Society recipient. I also work in education. Although I was a few years younger than Kelly, she crossed paths with a number of my friends and left a lasting impression on their lives as a mentor and peer. I wish that I could have had the honor of knowing her as well, but still feel inspired by the way she lived her life with compassion and love. I wanted to share in hopes that her family and friends will continue to know what an expansive impact she's had on the world.

Janet Mulligan and Don Bliss

I still think about it and how it must have touched those girls. I have so much respect for the McCarthy's, and wish you all peace during this time.

Kathryn McLean

April 26, 2017

There just aren't enough positive adjectives to describe Kelly as I remember her. She was always positive every situation. But I guess the thing I will recall most about Kelly is her creativity. When she was a freshman in our Hebrew Scriptures course, I gave the class an assignment where they had to present a particular sequential time in Hebrew history. Kelly was assigned Moses at the Burning Bush. On her presentation day. I had to stop myself from laughing out loud when she and her partner portrayed their scene in a parody of a current (at that time) rap song! They had cleverly changed the words to reflect the scene and its significance. It was memorable and all Kelly! She will be forever remembered for her courage, determination, and spirit. She was a kind and gracious soul. Though her life was brief, she touched many and we are all the better for having known her. Kara, Dan and Mary Kate thank you for sharing her with the world and know that you will be in my prayers as you continue your life journey without Kelly's presence but with the full knowledge that she will forever by in the many hearts of all she encountered as well as your own.

Deborah and Michael Soby

Kara and family, Just read this very sad news. Needless to say my heart truly breaks for you....Kelly truly lived a life appreciating all the gifts God blessed her with and grew those gifts in the interest and benefit of others. As I think of Kelly I have many memories of Kelly at St. Louis School. The first that immediately came to mind was her singing "Tomorrow" in the Annie drama production. I know there are no words to lessen your loss. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Stay Golden Kelly!

I'm so sorry for your loss and will remember you all in my prayers.
