I'm in shock. I can't believe a beautiful woman has passed away. I went to high-school with Kelly. She was always laid back down to earth and funny. We stayed in contact by social media. She always posted positive things and cherishing her kids and family. I'm sure going to miss her posts and pictures. God has gained another angel. Rest in peace Kelly. My sincere condolences to the family and her close friends.
