Growing up I remember a lot about Kelly. We were so close in age (just 2 months) so we always hung out alot. I remember collecting bottles so we could go to the little candy store up the street. We thought we were so big. So many times spending the night (on Huron). Our parents would tell ghost stories & scare us so we would end up to sleep together. The movie and popcorn nights were so much fun. Time passes so quickly and before you know it here we are. Kelly was an amazing person beautiful inside and out. I will miss her and she will always hold a special place in my heart. Until we meet again dear cousin… Love, Lisa
To my big sister… I love you with all my heart. I'm so sorry not to have been able to spend time with you as much as I wanted too. Growing up you always took care of me and let me hang out with you even though I was an annoying little brother. I remember you taking me to my first concert I believe was 1977. Mom and dad urged you to take me with your friends and you did which must of been embarrassing I'm sure with your girlfriends. Lol. You have a heart unlike anyone I've ever know and you shared that with everyone you encountered. I miss you everyday and will for the rest of my life. May you Rest In Peace. You lived a beautiful life and gave like no other. I love you. Markel Sparkle
When I started working at Centennial Water, Kelly trained me and work side by side with me on budget and all things financial analysis. I was impressed with her passion and understanding of the organization but most of all I remember her love of her children and her family. She will be missed. I am so sorry for your loss. – Stephanie Stanley
