Kelly, would make the happiest childhood times for me , when ever she would say, "Let's go play in my play house.' For me that was party playtime at it's best! Even though I lived next door to Kelly, I would wish our chain link fence away! If some days we would try to break the fence down, our dads just would patch it up. We loved our little patch of street. I loved to watch Kelly pick throuh our rock garden to find the perfect rock to be put in her new rock polisher. I always wondered why was Kelly's pony tails were even,perfect, and did they hurt? Kelly was her own girl back then. She had the bravery and courage of "Super Woman", and beauty of a "Charlies Angel" My one in a million childhood friend. LOVE LESLIE

Ms. Fay, Becky, and Family ,


Kelly was a childhood friend of mine I will never forget. I remember kindergarten, growing up in the same neighborhood, baking cookies, trick-or-treating, swimming, playing Barbies, slumber parties, fighting and making up and all the wonderful memories that come with childhood. She has and always will have a special place in my heart.

Kelly was my good friend throughout college and graduate school. She will be missed.
Rom 8:38-39 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, (39) nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
