Dear Sally, Frank, Nicolas and Lily,
Know that Kelly loved you all. She was proud to be your daughter, wife and mother. You filled her heart with love and her life with joy. She often told me how happy she was with her life and how blessed she felt to have such a devoted mother, loving husband and happy, thoughtful children. She enjoyed every day that she spent with you. I know that she took that love with her to heaven. She was grateful to have you as her family. She will always be in our hearts.

I had the honor and privilege of having Kelly as by best friend for 37 years. I will cherish every day we had together. She was the best person that I have ever known. She was genuine and honest with everyone. She loved unconditionally. She always looked for the good in every person and every situation. She made me a better person. I will always carry part of her with me. I will miss her every day.

Now, I will look forward to seeing her in heaven. She will be missed! My thoughts and prayers are with you. May Our Lord and Our Lady shower you with love and peace during your time of need. "God Bless You"

Frank, Sally, Nicolas & Lily,
I too was in shock to see the news of Kelly's passing in the paper. We worked together over 25 years ago at Poston's and would see each other at least yearly at St. Clare's carnival. I am so sorry. She will be greatly missed.

Frank, Sally,Nicolas & Lily,
I am so shocked to hear of Kelly's passing. I still remember with great sadness when Kevin died, so I can only imagine what a devastating loss Kelly would be. I am so sorry, I was not aware that she was ill. I had the pleasure of seeing Kelly occasionally at St Clare's, since my children also attended school until they graduated. I was a friend of hers at Cardinal Newman, Kelly was always nice to everyone. I will miss seeing her and I will keep you in my prayers. Heaven must be celebrating her arrival, just as deeply as we will miss her here on Earth.

Frank, Sally, Nicolas, and Lily,
I am so sad to hear about Kelly's passing. I was a former classmate of hers from Grades 1-12. I have not seen Kelly in a while so I do not know what happened to take her away. Kelly was always fun to be around and always had a smile to share. She will truly be missed. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.

My sympathy to Kelly's family. Such a pretty young lady to have passed on so early. We were probably related, sorry we never got to meet. She will be in my prayers.

Sally, I cannot imagine the pain you and your family are going through. Kelly was a real fighter. I always admired her strength and her courage. I will miss seeing her with "Angel." Our comfort is in knowing we will all be together again someday with no more pain or suffering. Love to all of you.

Frank, Sally, Nicholas and Lily,
Words cannot decribe the depth of our sorrow for your loss. Kelly was in every way a person that we admired. Her love and devotion to her family, her creative and can-do spirit, and her giggle and smile even through the tough times. We will always remember the campfires, Halloween hayrides, and most of all how to be good neighbor and friend.
