My most deepest condolences.
Mrs, Morris was my 7th Grade teacher at Crockett Jr high in 1997 And she was also my oldest daughter science teacher at Ector Jr High. And she also taught my youngest daughter at OCTECH. I Always heard my two girls say Mrs, Morris is the BEST TEACHER EVER and the coolest.

Kelli was a fine teacher who really cared about her students. She was an outstanding colleague and had a way to brighten the day of people she interacted with. May God bless her and may her family and friends be blessed with comfort and peace.

Another angel has entered Heaven! While saddened at the news of Kelly's passing, I am so happy to have known her. Kelly was a wonderful friend and co-worker. She always made your day special even when it wasn't going so well for you. Her kindness, like her laugh, was contagious! She will be missed by so many who's lives were touched by hers. Rest in peace Kelly.

Kelly was a very special friend to me for many years. I have known her since I was a kid. Knowing her from the Judo family and then our daughters being great friends during their childhood. Kelly and I had some great times and memories with our kids. Kelly will be missed especially for her sweet smile and her fun personality. Love you! See you again in time.
