25 years ago, you made me the happiest I have ever been...the birth of my first child.
Kelly, I pray that you understand how much I love and miss you...how much I regret certain things that were said...the "tough love" that I thought was the right thing to do at the time, and that I never told you that things would be ok.
thank you / Jill Elder (friend)
For all of the memories. The kind that when we're sad on a day like today and look back, we can't help but smile at all of the good times and humor you gave us. I can't believe it's been four years, I miss you. Close
Merry Christmas / Cristen Rensel
Merry Christmas sweetie. Just thinking of you today. Miss you. I know you're here with all of us and your family today. Close
Miss You / Cristen Rensel (BFF)
I've been thinking about you a lot lately. I keep seeing butterflies around me...and I think about your moms tattoo...and I wonder if its your way of saying hello. I always thought when we were little what it would be like to be after college. I just wish I could talk to you and hang out like we used to. I hope you know you will never be forgotten. Miss you. Close
Happy Birthday - ILU so much / Mom
In just a few hours you would be 24. You are in my mind, heart and consciousness tonight as i try to imagine what if...
Kelly, I want you to know I truly regret all that I did to cause you pain - as a Mom, and a woman, it was my job to hold our family together and I did not do that - I will live with certain regrets until the day I die, and I hope God and you will forgive me for the errors I made along the way that put you on the path you went down.
Until we meet again, my daughter - I love you with all my heart - happy birthday in heaven...Mom Close

recently i've been thinking about what you would be like now. approaching 24, would you be a nurse yet? would you be engaged? please let everyone feel your warmth through out this very difficult time. i miss you so much! love you Close
So little Casey is engaged! I remember when the 3 of us went to the movies together, thinking we were all grown up. It is hard to think that she will be getting married! I hope you know I think about you all the time. I wish you were here to talk to about all that is going on. Camp Anytown crossed my mind the other day. It seems like just yesterday I was laughing with you and Steph on the bunk beds in our cabin. I miss you. Friends Forever, Cristen
Casey is Engaged! / Mom
Kell, I know you know that sis got engaged. How I wish you were here to share in her joy. I know you are so happy for her, and we wish you were here so much to be a part of this exciting time in her life. I'm sure you are here with us and smiling...If only we could hug you again, laugh with you, and have you part of this...please visit us in our dreams soon....love Mom Close
I was thinking about you today and decide to google your name and I was brought to this beautiful site. I know that we weren't "best" friends but you were a good friend and a beautiful girl. I hope that your family is doing well. I know there are many people who miss you and I'm sure they think of you everyday. I hope that you are happy whereever you are and that you are watching over your friends and family.
Christmas Eve / Mom
My baby...I love you so much. You are in my thoughts constantly - especially now - though this Christmas season. I can see you so clearly, excited about shopping and the whole reason for the season... You would have enjoyed tonight at your sisters so much. I know that you would be proud of her. More than anything - we wish you were here with us. Love Forever - Mom Close
Another Christmas without you. this time of year is so very bittersweet. Please know how much you are in my thoughts every day, and how very much I miss you. I can look back at all our years together especially at these special family times with such love - and I am so grateful for these memories of you. Lastlly honey...I am grateful that I have a little girl in my life...Kaitlyn. Did you send her to me??? She is helping me replace so much hurt into love. Please visit me in my dreams soon...Love forever, Mom Close

poem/ Lauren Karfonta
I still see your face in my dreams It hurts and it doesn't help at all I still want you in my life Someone to catch me when I fall
I still remember the first time we met There was something so different about you Your friendship was something I wanted to get That smile when you said hi to me was so new
Miss you / Cristen Rensel (Best Friend )
I was looking through old pictures and came across a lot of them from 8th grade. I sat here looking at them and began to think about all the fun times we had. I found a picture of you, me and your sister at the mall about to go to the movies. I remember feeling so grown up to go to the mall by ourselves. I really wish you were here to talk to and laugh about stuff. I am always thinking about you and I know you are watching over all of us and helping us get through each day. I still think about the last time I saw you. I can't get it out of my head how I took seeing you again for granted. I still wish I had a chance to say goodbye. I wish we hadnt grown apart like we did. You were such a good friend and I will never forget you. love you miss you ~Cristen Close
