Kelly was a one of a kind. She was always smiling, laughing or making others laugh. She was taken way too soon. Such a kind and wonderful person, I'll miss you my little Kelly.

Kelly was a friend and coworker. She was always a ray of sunshine and we always told each other that. We will miss her smile, funny one liners and her presence. To Kelly's family, you have lost a wonderful person and for that I am so sorry. Take care of each other.
