Kelly Josephine Navin

After thumbing through a Loyola magazine yesterday, I am deeply saddened to read about Kelly. She was one of the students in my AP Psychology class my first year of teaching at The John Carroll school. Although it was about 12 years ago, I remember Kelly as though it were yesterday. As mentioned by many others before, she was full of light and love. Her excellent questions in class and knowledge about the world were also above and beyond others her own age. She was truly a special soul. It always tears at my heart when I lose a student, but my grief pales in comparison to yours. Please know that I am thinking and praying for you and the entire family with this excruciating loss. Tracie Barton-Barrett, MS, LPC [email protected]

She was a great oral communicator with a zest for life. She was so fun and up for adventure. She will be missed.

To my adored brother Mick, my dearly loved sister-in-law Jackie, my handsome and delightful nephew, Luke, and my exquisite, wonderful Lindsay... I've loved Kelly like a daughter, I will deeply miss the sound of her raspy unique voice, her stunning smile, her beautiful face. And each day as i feel the loss of her presence I will thank God for blessing our family with her and the strong holy family you all are. You four are an example of God in our midst. St. Paul said "the nature of God is Love". You are that witness. You reveal the nature of God.

I was a co-worker of "Mom-Mom" Pat Lepore for many years at BGE. It's amazing how tragic news such as her granddaughter's passing spreads throughout a community such as BGE. Please know Pat, that I think of you often and especially now since Kelly's untimely and unfortunate passing. She sounds like such a beacon of light to your family, and I know your heart is breaking. My prayers to you and your family now and in the coming weeks, months and years ahead.

May the Lord grant His mercy on you and your family.

To the Navin Family, I didn't know Kelly personally, but knew of her from her Aunt Mary, my dear friend. Mary proudly shares wonderful stories of her nieces and nephews. She has spoken about Kelly's accomplishments and loving spirit. I am so sad for your entire family for this tragic loss. I know you have a strong and loving family to help you on this painful journey. May you feel God's loving arms around you. Peg M.

We didn't know her personally. We only know her brother's girlfriend's parents, but this is truly very tragic to read of someone passing so young with so much ahead of her and one so loved. Prayers are sent to her family and loved ones and that meeting each other again someday will bring them comfort.

Kelly was a best friend.
A distance could never separate us.
Our good times will never be forgotten.
In my memories you will always be.
Good bye my friend.

Dear Mick and Jackie,

We cannot express our sorrow and sympathy deep enough on the passing of Kelly. We did not know Kelly, but it is obvious that she was a special daughter and woman. Our prayers will always be with you.

We never met Kelly, and only know her Dad via his brother, my fraternity brother Joe, but in reading and seeing pictures, I can only say that this is as sad as life can get. Our heartfelt sympathy to your entire family, our prayers are with you in this time of terrible grief.

Dr. Navin and family,

My heart aches for your family. Please know you all are in my prayers. May God shore you up, give you peace and comfort, and hold you in His loving embrace as you grieve the loss of your daughter and sister. God bless you.

You always brightened our family gatherings. God must have a much bigger plan for you. May you rest in peace our precious niece. You lived life to its fullest. You will be dearly missed. Hugs and kisses until we meet again.

Dear Mick and Jackie,
Please know that you and your entire family are in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this unimaginably difficult time. We hope that your faith along with the love and support of friends and family will help to carry you through.
With love,

Never forget the loving cousin who shared an interest in Theatre with me. From now on my quest to Broadway is dedicated to her

I remember back in March at Jennifer's birthday dinner, how kind and eloquent Kelly was when she was sharing her experiences of Loyola MD with my daughter Katherine. she was so excited about the field she chose and made great recommendations to a teenager trying to navigate her college choices. I loved her voice, deep and strong, just like her. Rest in peace sweet girl.

Sending the Navin and Lepore family love and strength.

Dear Mick, Jacqueline and Family

We are sorry to hear about the tragic accident. Kelly was a beautiful young woman with a great future ahead of her. May all the special memories of Kelly live on in your hearts forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless. RIP Kelly.

So sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter.

May God bless your family with strength and comfort. Thinking of you and keeping your family in my prayers.

I first met Kelly about 10 years ago when she worked in Savage and so did I. She was very professional at bartending and also personable and intelligent and ambitious. I was immediately very impressed by her awesome personality, sense of humor, kindness towards others, and how she lived in the present instead of always speaking of the past or the future. I am very sorry for the loss of her at such a young age. She is greatly missed already by a lot of people. You have my sincerest condolences.
Cordially

I am so sorry for the emptiness your hearts must all be feeling right now. I did not have the pleasure of knowing Kelly, but what a beautiful statement to what sounds like a life well lived that your family has composed. My prayers are with you all at this time, I'm saddened the world has lost another bit of light...

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Navin Family during this most difficult time. Truly a beautiful young lady who was about to share with us a brilliant career helping to make this world a better place. A great loss as well to our John Carroll Patriots family.

Dear Mick and Jackie, I can't even imagine the pain you must feel with the passing of your beautiful and talented daughter Kelly. Remember she has only slipped away into the next room to be joined by both of you at a time known only by our Lord. You are both strong and exceptional, you are loved by many as Kelly was loved by the both of you. Kelly's love will lives on in your heart and your mind. That feeling will never die. May God look after you both along with Lindsey and Luke. Respectfully Virgil

Kelly,

I don't even know where to begin. During the first week of class, you struck up a conversation with me about video games and anime, and you showed me pictures from when you went to comic con. Not only did we find out that we double majored in the same studies, but we also had the same future plans. From then on, we were pretty much inseparable any time we were together! We planned our school schedules so we could have as many classes together as possible, and we always picked each other for group projects. We would get lunch together every week and talk about anything and everything before we walked to our classes together.

I made a lot of wonderful memories with you. Some of my favorites were when we would make statistics-related jokes to each other during class breaks that barely anyone else would understand, or the times that you spent the weekend at my house and we would spend 20 hours a day working on an exam for the hardest class we ever took. Two things come to mind every time I think of you: An infectious laugh (one that would make everyone else laugh, even when they didn't know what was so funny), and Cheetos--you came to class with a bag of them almost every week, and it's a wonder your fingers weren't permanently orange :).

It breaks my heart to know that you're gone, but I rest easy knowing that you lived your life so fiercely. If there's one thing that I admired most about you, it's that you were never afraid to live, and you were never afraid to love and care for anyone who became a part of your life. I am so incredibly grateful that I got to be one of the many who got to be a part of your life.

I love you, Kelly. I will always cherish the memories we made. Rest easy and keep watch until we meet again.

Dear Jackie, Mick, Lindsey, and Luke,

We're so terribly sad to learn of the loss of your beautiful Kelly. Sounds like she left an amazing footprint during her brief time in this world. Hoping these memories and her exceptional spirit will bring comfort on the tough road ahead. Keeping you and Kelly in our warmest thoughts and prayers, and standing by to help in any way.

Love, Lyn Edmunds and Dave Fender
