It’s hard to believe it’s been three years since my cousin Kelly passed away. I know she is in heaven and waiting on her family and friends to see her again one day. I have so many childhood memories of Kelly and miss her. I can still see her when she was little dressing up with makeup,jewelry and high heels and thinking she was something special and believe me she was. My prayers are always with her family .
Love you guys always

I will miss her so much. She was my favorite cousin and we have so many childhood memories. She truly loved her family and loved Lisa and Ellie more than words can say. Most importantly she was a Christian and is in heaven with Jesus Christ Our Lord .

She fought a very tough battle more so than most could have ever endured ! Kelly you were loved and admired by many including me but your memories will live forever within our hearts ! Earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal ! One compromise is that you are no longer suffering and now one of Gods special angels ! Rest in Peace my friend ! Amen
