I really wish we had more time together on this earth but god had different plans for you. Shawna and tyler will be ok. I see people now and all i hear is what a great girl you were. We all do miss that stupid laugh of yours. I could go on forever but i will end this by saying i miss you very much and thanks for being such a great friend and giving me the great memories that i have. Love you Kel !!!!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during these very trying times. Let your many memories of fun-filled times with Kelly be a comfort to you all. Remember all the best about Kelly, how she lit up the room with her sunny smiles and happy laughter, how she affected everyone around her with her high energy and spirit for living. She will live on for all of us as we remember so many things about her. We did not get to see her often, but it was always memorable when we spent time with her. She was loved very much, and will be greatly missed.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived
okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here
is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you
every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up
and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were
gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for
me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's
chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life
on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not
be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But
one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a
time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will
give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day
was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the
way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick
him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in
your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember
you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To the entire Nolan Family,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Kelly. We were friends in jr high and high school and even though we lost touch through the years I would stop in the Seahorse from time to time when I was in Noank to hopefully catch her and finally say hello. My timing was not great and I was unable to do so. Now in her own way she knows I was thinking of her from time to time. She will be missed and the great memories remain. My thoughts are with you all.
