Kelsey Elayna Perkins Jean

I remember the day we were cooking for a solstice family party. I was learning how to make humus and you were baking cookies. We were laughing, singing, and dancing to music. I just remember us saying "oh this would be good". They were a big hit at the party. To this day we have yet to figure out or remember what all we put in them.

I loved cooking with you, family game nights, hiking with you, dancing and singing with you, watching you and your family grow, sharing our dreams with each other, and your hugs.

Kelsey, you gave me the best friendship in such a short time. You taught me to be strong, confident, and that some people are sent here to spread so much JOY no matter what. My first special needs mom friend and the best kind of true friend. You are so missed and loved big. I think I´ll spend forever trying to match the tiniest bit of your light.

Our first date, your first motorcycle ride in almost a decade and a walk to your favorite place in Chewacla, was the day I knew I would marry you. I love you.

Kelsey was a was the epitome of beautiful. She loved hard and she was unapologetically herself.
