To Family and Friends -
I had the pleasure of working with Kelly for a short while at Vibra Healthcare. She was pretty, funny, and smart - just a good person to be around. I am so saddened for your family and her friends on the loss of such a good soul. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I work at Sprint in the Telecommunications Relay Service. I met Kelly several times when she visited our Overland Park, KS campus when she was working with Rolka Loube. I admired her professionalism and her detail to the tasks at hand. However, what struck me was her willingness to work with us and embrace challenges as merely one step along the road to get things done. It was a pleasure to have known her. I remember someone saying do not judge me by what I have done but the lives I have touched.
