    I’m sorry for the loss of your dear loved one, and may you be encouraged from God’s word the bible at 2 Corinthians 1:3,4:
    “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those in any sort of tribulation through the comfort with which we ourselves are being comforted by God.” (Psalms 83:18)
    May you be comforted at this time, as you draw close to God in prayer.

    We are born into the World like a blank canvas
    and every person that crosses our path
    picks up the brush and makes their mark upon our surface
    so it is then we develop into whom we truly are.

    Sometimes we have something without truly knowing what we have.
    Sometimes we hold something without knowing completely
    What we hold.
    Sometimes we are given something without fully appreciating
    What we are given.
    But that knowledge usually comes when we realize
    What we have lost….
    And we lost a Sister a Friend a Mom and a Daughter.
    I Love you Kelly may you rest in the arms of Jesus.
    Love Lori

    It’s Wednesday October 3rd 2012. I just heard a voice mail on my cell phone from someone, he said that Kelly has passed away! Oh my God NO! What happened to my baby angel? Why wasn’t I there for her? I’m so sorry Kelly girl. I wish I had been around to hear about this earlier. This is devastating news. I wish I could of been with Kelly’s mom and sisters at Kelly’s funeral. I am so sorry Mrs. Blubaugh, Julie, Kathy, Chrissy and her children and friends. I grew up with Kelly and she will forever be my one and only best friend. She knew that no matter the distance between us in miles that our friendship trumped all the others. Please call me Julie at 480-229-4800. Love, Beth

    Today is December 29th…I ran into a childhood friend last night who told me about Kelly….i had no idea. Although Kelly and I had literally grown up together, and she was maid of honor in my first wedding, we had went our seperate ways some twenty years ago. Despite the distance, I thought of her often and often spoke of her to my own children when talking about true friendships. This should come as know suprise to anyone who knew Kelly, as she had an infectious personality that left in indelible inpression on your heart…out of sight, but never out of mind! Regretfully, I never reconnected with her, even when I had the chance (….a decision that haunts me now.) I will speak of her again to my children, about the preciusness of life, the nessecity of releasing the past, and importance of showing others what is truely in your heart. To Agnes, Sid, Chris, Kathy, Julie, Dustin and Jennifer, I am so very sorry for the tremendous loss you have suffered and for not being there to tell you in person. Respectfully, Kati
