My heart is deeply saddened at the news of Kelly's passing. However, I take comfort in knowing where Kelly placed her faith, and I know, that Kelly is home. As I think of Kelly this day, I think of this; 1 Corinthians 15: 20-23 - But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own order; Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ.
Revelation 14:13 - And I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on." "Blessed indeed," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!"
And lastly I think of these things: Philippians 4:8 - Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things.
Kelly was a blessing to many on this earth. I pray for His perfect peace and comfort to Ralph, Mason, Clayton, Alec, and also for Sharon.

Words themselves cannot fully express the sorrow that is felt over the loss of your dear Kelly. Losing a loved one is such a difficult thing to deal with, but especially when it comes unexpectedly. As time goes by,though, you will begin to realize that as you think of her smiles, her affection for family, her laughter, the pain has diminished a bit and you'll find yourself smiling again. I didn't know her personally but, having lost someone dear to me, I can empathize with the pain you have and continue to experience. What comfort such scriptures as John 5:28,29 brought me! You will read there about the promise Jesus gave of resurrecting our loved ones back to life. When he resurrected His friend Lazarus back to life, He showed his ability and desire to fulfill that promise. ( John 11:38-44 ) Can you just imagine the joy Lazarus' sisters felt when they held him in their arms once again? This joy we too will feel in the very near future. Until that day comes, we have the promise that God will draw close to those whose hearts have been broken ( Psalms 34:18 ) I truly hope these few scriptures have helped lessen the pain you feel as they had mine.

How many times have we lamented that life is too short? Your spirit will guide your loved ones for the rest of their lives. They are blessed due to your love for them and the compassion that you taught them.
Love,

What a wonderful tribute to Kelly. She was indeed selfless, putting everyone's needs before her own.
We will miss her, but are so lucky to have some great memories.
We love you all and we are thinking about you each and every day.

Although you may not see them,
You are always in their sight.
They bring the gift of love & guidance
It's called the "Angel Light!"
You know they always hear you,
To them your voice is dear.
With the comfort that they bring to you,
You need not ever fear.
So here's a place for Kelly to come,
To do with angels what must be done.
To make our world whole & bright,
And share with all, the "Angel Light!"
