I want Kelly's family, friends, and all who loved her so much to know you are in the many thoughts and prayers of so many people across Indiana...and the entire country. I knew none of you, but this story has and will continue to be on my mind. That baby boy...I cannot stop thinking of him. I pray the memories you shared with her find you some comfort during this tragic time and beyond. She sounds like the very kind of nurse I would have loved to work beside. From, someone in Indianapolis who cares a WHOLE lot.
