Thanksgiving 2005  / Mom
Kelly, honey...I'm hoping you can understand how much you are loved and missed.  Without you, there is a huge void everyday, and we all feel the loss so much more during these holidays when our families come together.  I'm going through all the cooking and entertaining motions today - but you are on my mind and in my heart every second and we all will miss you coming in the door like a whirlwind, flashing your amazing smile, and sharing Thanksgiving with us.  I'll love you & miss you forever honey,  Mom.

A mother's love is a circle....  / Gary Renfro (mom's friend )
What?  This is the first question that came to me when I heard about Kelly.  What could drive such a young beautiful person to end her life?  What must this have done to Debbie?  What do you say to try to express concern and comfort?  What would I do if this were my daughter?  Of course, none of these questions could be answered.  All I can say is, God has a plan for us.  We are not meant to understand, just accept, in faith, that God's plan is best.  I'd like to share this from "Chicken Soup for the Mother's Soul":
"A mother's love is like a circle, it has no beginning and no ending.  It keeps going around and around ever expanding, touching everyone who comes in contact with it.  Engulfing them like the morning's mist, warming them like the noontime sun, and covering them like a blanket of evening stars.  A mother's love is like a circle, it has no beginning and no ending."

God bless,  gary Close

Forever Missed...  / Jen Layton (Friend)
Kelly~Although we drifted apart once we were out of highschool, I will never forget the times we had together!  I can't believe it's been over a year since you left us--you are in my thoughts each day and you will always be missed by anyone who knew you.  I'm so sorry I couldn't be there to say goodbye.  My prayers still go out to you, your mom, dad and Casey.

passbyer / Bree
pictures are beauitful and im sure that she is terribly missed everyday. I wanted to say also that im really sorry that she had to leave in that way. No one really knows what a person is trully feeling deep within, and it takes great effort to get a person to revel their innermost feelings. Besides life is very hard on us, and some fall victim to it. For now she rests but maybe in the future she will get a chance to enjoy the real life in peace and with no disturbances.

What a beautiful Angel  / Denelle Dana ((Mom of Angel Bri) )

Thank you for your words of comfort about my daughter Bri. I came to Kelly's Memorial page and I was amazed at the similarities of our girls, both had so many friends and were always smiling. We will never have the answers to why they chose suicide but I know they both had wonderful families here on earth and we will see them again.
So sorry for the loss of your precious daughter.

Often missed...  / Glen Calkins (friend)
Hey Kelly,
  Don't know how I found this site but I'm glad I did. Just wanted to let you know how much all of us miss you. Swirvin and I think/talk about you all the time. You stand out to us as someone who always had fun whenever wherever. Your smile, laughs, and free spirit seemed to rub off on those around you. You were always a pleasure to be around. You are a special person who made an impact on more lives than you probably would imagine. I hope you're smiling and laughing wherever you are now. For myself, swirv and the rest of the guys who don't know about this site; You will always be in our thoughts. Close

It will never be goodbye  / Cristen Rensel (Friend)
How do you say goodbye to someone like you? We were bestfriends through elementary and middle school. You were the very first friend I made when I moved to Florida. I sit here and think of all the good times we had when we were little. We grew apart, we went different paths and I just wish I would have been there to say goodbye. You were such a good friend, such a beautiful young lady and I wish you were still here. You will always be in my heart and you will truely be missed. love always Close

Never too late...  / Crystal Ankrum (BCHS c/o 2001 )
I have visited this site on several occasions now. I heard about the tragedy way after it happened and figured it was too late to offer condolences now, but then I realized no one, especially those close to her, will ever stop grieving. I want Kelly's family to know that they are always in my prayers. Take comfort in the thought of Kelly's big beautiful smile watching over you everyday and know that in time you'll have your long awaited reunion. God's Blessings to all of Kelly's family, friends and everyone whose life was blessed with even one minute of Kelly's presence. Close

One year ago / Lori Scruci (Deb's best friend)
It's been a year since the saddest funeral I've ever been to - that of beautiful, smart and much loved Kelly.  Deb, I know it's been the hardest year of your life. I hope and pray that you find some comfort in this site and all the wonderful friends Kelly has.  I love you Deb - and my heart hurts for you as much today as it did a year ago...  Close

I miss you. / Mandy Cullen (Friend)

Kelly, I really can't believe it's already been a year. I look at this site all the time, but I've never written anything.  I really just don't even know what to say. You were such an amazing person, and I miss you so much. Me and Jill are constantly talking about funny things that you said or did. The thought of you can always bring a smile to my face. Cameron's getting really big, and she laughs ALL the time. Me and Jill thought that maybe since she has your middle name, she'll be funny, just like you. I hope so. Kelly, I can't even put into words what you meant to everyone. You will forever be missed, and never forgotten. I love you and miss you, but I know you're ok.

WE MISS YOU!!! / Meghan Flood (Friend)
Kelly, it will be a year in two days and we miss you like CRAZY!!! We're going to hang out with your mom tonight and reminisce on all the good times we had together. Seriously Kelly, there is so much I wish I could talk to you about, but instead I'll do it in my prayers, I know you're listening. Were going to Shell Island on Monday (your favorite place), we'll be sure to do a cheers to you and hopefully you will be in heaven doing the same thing. "I DRINK, I SMOKE, I'M LAZY, I'M BROKE, BUT HEY I'M EASY TO GET ALONG WITH" That's to you babe, and we love you and miss you always! Love, Megs Close

Missing You / Jill Elder (Friend)
Kelly, its been exactly a year since the last time i saw you. I can't believe its been a year. I miss you soo much. I am really glad I have that last memory of you, I will never forget the talk we had while laying out that last day. I love you! Close

Kelly, It's Mothers Day and I Miss You Being Here With Us  / Deborah Poston (Mom)

No Mother's Day flowers from you today
I'll instead place them on your grave.
No Mother's Day card can you send my way
I'll just savor the one's that I saved.

I'll sit here and think of the day you were born
and the joy that your life gave to me.
And thank the heavens for our moment in time
for as short as it had to be.

The sound of your laughter plays in my head
your love is deep in my heart.
As I sit and think of the day that you left
knowing were not really apart.

Only thoughts of you for Mother's Day
bittersweet smiles and tears.
Sending my love to the Heavens above

For Me... Please... / Lisa (Nephew lost to me)
Kelly,
     You are younger than Josh Boots, my nephew who died.  Your beauty stuns and aches at my heart. How your loving family must greive. But you are in a position I envy in only one way.  Take a minute... look around you...find  Josh for me and hug him back.  His lost loves and mistakes here left him adrift on a sea we could not save him from.  You can hold him for me till I can get to him.  He will hold you and help you see the boundless love that pours like water from the hearts of the loved ones who feel  lost without you here.  He has a huge heart and a handsome face, but he's so very shy.  Be friends with him till I can get there and I willl forever thank you.  Josh saved me from my own suicide, but I failed him.  I wish you could have hindsight into what your life meant to others, but only those of us who lose something so precious and beautiful as a soul such as yours knows what suicide really does, what it never solves...anything, how it takes something from your being that cannot be replaced, only patiently waited to be restored at heavens door.  You be at that door the day I get there girl and bring my boy with you.  I think you'll be amazing friends.

thinking of you always! / Kim Goreski (friend)
Kelly (my beautiful running partner)...there are absolutely no words to express how much you weigh on my heart. It's amazing how even though we drifted apart after I graduated hs, the strong bond we once shared keeps me so connected to you. There are so many days that go by when a random memory of you will just pop into my head. There are times that my memories of you are so clear and detailed that I can still hear your voice, see your smile, and hear your laugh. I think of our cross country experience together. I remember how many times you would have to encourage me to keep running. I hated it then, but would do anything to go back to it now. We shared in so many big 1st moments/memories together. You signed my yearbook and we promised to keep in touch about "our guy problems and religion." Well, I am now getting married! My fiance knows about you, and as you know, we have future plans to keep your memory alive!!! I love you so much! I am at great peace knowing that you are in a place now that we once could only imagine! Close

kelly, I just wanted to thank you for watching out for us in the keys.  I wish you could have been there in body.  we had a great time this weekend, and plan to be spending sometime with your mom this week.  i miss you, and wish you were here.  Close
