I am sorry sorry to hear this incredibly sad news about Kelly. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
A light has gone out in the world. Kelly was that ray of light, shining brightest when things were the bleakest. Her death has affected so many, just as her life cheered even more with her indomitable courage. Never did I see Kelly when she didn’t have a smile on her lovely lips or a laugh to share with those she loved. The world is poorer for having lost this beacon of hope. May her family and friends be comforted in knowing that she sits now at the right hand of her heavenly Father’s throne where she can look down on them from on high until they join her in eternal life. May she rest in peace.
I didn’t see Kelly at Christmas mass. And found that she had passed. I feel terrible for not knowing, as I was dealing with my own father’s illness and passing. Kelly was such a light. I remember her smiling face and carefree nature as our daughter’s shared a preschool class. God Bless her family.
We just received a beautiful Christmas card from Tim, which led me to finding out about Kelly’s passing. I’m so sorry for Tim and Emily! Daryl and I shared many fun times with Tim and Kelly while they were in Austin…. Lots of friend gatherings and laughs! Rest in peace, Kelly. You are reunited with your mom and dad.
