I cannot believe it has been 14 years. I am not suprised. When Jen & I worked together at the Space Center she proved that she was living her life on her terms. She was so full of spunk & laughter that you couldn't help wanting to be around her. She was one of a kind. Although time pulled us apart, I've thought about her many times over the years. There is no doubt in my mind how hard she fought. I used to have to pin her down to take her shots, but, that was just Jennifer. Stubborn & Loyal. I pray for you all during this time of loss. She was one of a kind ;)

So thankful to call Kelli one of my closest and dearest "sister-friends". I love you as though we were flesh and blood, and I'm blessed to know all of you. Your journey has been a long one, with laughter, sadness, and triumph all rolled into one. A true testament to the dedicated hearts of a wonderful, loving, and faithful family. God bless you all!
