Kelly showed me STRENGTH and HOPE when I most needed it. We became friends and had many good conversations and lots of laughs. She was so proud of Nick and loved him very much. I will truly miss a true friend. My condolences to her family and all her friends.

Thinking of Kelly today. I had the pleasure of working with her for the last two years, becoming a friend in the process. Honest and straightforward, appreciative, a wonderful communicator, insightful, thoughtful, deeply serious, and just plain fun; I will miss her very much. I send my condolences to her family and many friends.

I will miss my dear friend Kelly. She was a wonderful person who shared her love and talents with many many people. She loved her son Nicholas so very much. The world has lost a great light. She was brave, full of love and light. I will miss you dear friend.
