Kelly,

I will miss your sweet smile and the fun times I shared with you and my sister. You always treated me so kind and included me even as Danielle's little sister. I will never forget the first summer I met you. You spent almost every weekend with us. I will remember you always and look forward to seeing you again. Rest in peace sweet Kelly.

Kelly was a light in my life and such a gentle and caring person. She was there for all the big events in my life: when I graduated from law school, she was roommate; when I got married, she was a brides maid; and when I had my only child, we named her my daughter's godmother. More than anything else, Kelly was my friend and I love her and I miss her.

Dear Gail
I did not know your beautiful daughter and have not seen you for many years. Hearing of your loss brings sadness to me for you and your family. I pray that our Lord will comfort you and your family and exchange sadness for joy.

Sincerely,
Barbara Maxwell Braidic

My deepest condolences. Kelly was such a sweet soul. We met 13 years ago when she student taught next door to me and then became my long term sub when I had my son. She will forever be missed. Love to all friends and family members

Rest in peace my friend! I miss you so much, but am so grateful for our friendship and all the amazing memories! Mr. & Mrs. N, please know that I am here for you.... to talk, to cry, or to laugh about all the silly things Kell and I did! You are like my other parents and are always welcome in my home, if you just need to get away!

My sympathy to the family. As Jesus looked to the Heavenly Father for strength and power in his time of deep sorrow, may you do the same. John 11:39-44
