Hi Kelly, (Guess what? It's 4:00) We're now coming into Memorial Day week-end.....the world just keeps on spinning and father time keeps marching forward. I, myself, am stuck in time; as fast as it goes, I lag behind. The only thing that moves forward for me is one foot in front of the other and even that's on autopilot. I miss you so much Kelly; you belong here with us today. If only you could've gotten through that fateful, horrible day. You had so much light, beauty, love and life left in you. Those were the things that defined you and it's so sad that panic and anxiety could have overwhelmed all that you were. I'm so sorry you suffered so much while I knew so little. I'd give anything today to be able to hold you and comfort you. I just have to settle with holding you in my heart and I do sweet Kelly, I do. I love you, Mom xoxo

Hi my Kelly, It's getting close to the end of my work day and as always I'm thinking of you. My heart grows heavier as the hours pass; I always seem to get weepy around 4:00. The reality of the fact that you're not here with us burrows itself in and around my heart and soul. Sometimes it hurts so much it feels like it has teeth. I'm not alone with this feeling.......we're all totally devastated. Even after almost five months, the shock hasn't waned. We're all still numb; we want you back. I miss you Kelly. Love, Mom xoxo

My dear Kelly, Everything triggers memories of you.......looking through a Christmas Tree Shop flyer, seeing a mom buckle her daughter into a carriage, looking up at the sky, eating a crab cake, garden ornaments, heart rocks, the beach, your sunglasses, music, "Oscar" gowns, chicken salad with salami (who would've thunk!), pretty sandals, pretty girls..........It's so hard to learn to live without you.....life's toughest lesson ever! I miss you, my girl and I'll never, ever stop! I've always loved you deeply. Mom

Sorry for forgetting Joey, and all of our departed friends and family.

Our Dear Kelly, you're missed every minute of every day. Our lives forever changed that terrible day. Hopefully you're hanging with Gram, and a new visitor Wally. Love you forever.

Rest in peace, Kelly. XoxO
