I'm at a loss for words! I didn't know Kelly personally but I went to school with Valerie and I know how close the family was. May God bless and hold the hand of each one of you, especially her children during this trying time. She's walking with the Lord and she's rejoicing and one day she will be reunited with each of you. My thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of you. Stephanie

Kelly was a very special friend to me. Our friendship started when we coached volleyball together at Heritage. During that time, Kelly would often say that she wasn't much help since she had never played volleyball. But I would tell her how much she helped me and that that didn't really matter. She helped with all the drills during practices, she would always handle the introductions at games, and organized everything for me. During games, she helped me to decide when to make substitutions, and she always knew the dynamics going on between the girls. (We used to say that she picked this all up from her dad.) So basically, she was good in all the areas where I was weak. Being a new team from such a small school, the girls were not very successful. At the end of the second season we talked about how we might instill some fight in the girls (which we really thought was lacking). We decided that the next season she would put them through a "boot camp". I was really looking forward to that and I was so disappointed when she decided not to coach the next year since Natalie would be focusing on dance. Ever since that time, whenever there would be a school event, Kelly was one of the people I would most want to talk to and spend time with. I always felt a connection to, and kindred spirit with Kelly. I will miss Kelly so much! I think she was a special and rare person.
I also remember that Kelly was the kind of mother that was always at every class party, field trip, and school event. She was a very involved mother whose children always took first priority in her life. She spoke of them always with such love and pride in her eyes. Please know that my prayers are with Kelly's children, parents, sister, and family. I hope that you find peace in knowing that she is in a better place and that you will see her again one day.

Sympathy goes out to all and especially to the children. I will pray for them and everyone tonight.

My deepest sympathy to the family. Certainly the loss of a loved one is one of the hardest things we have to cope with. However, the Bible gives us a sure hope. Jesus says at John 5:28,29..."for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come come out." Reassuring us that he wants to reunite us with our loved ones again. I hope this brings your family some comfort during this difficult time.

Her commitment to family, country, and humanity is well documented in the daily life of Kelly. We will forever remember the enduring smile and encouraging word she had for everyone. As Kelly strolls around Heaven it is those left behind that must endure the sadness of this loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May God bless each member of this family.

Boyce and Sandra,
There are no words that can be spoken that can ease the pain of this loss. However, there is this hope to be found in II Corinthians 5:8. It says, "We are CONFIDENT, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." I have capitalized confident because if we have this confidence we can, at some point, have peace. There is no doubt in my mind that you ALL have this confidence. There is nothing that can be said or done to ease the hurt or fill the void, but there is peace to be found. A message for Jack: you know where my office is and my door is always open to you.

Dear Boyce, Sandra and Valerie,
I am without words for you, what could possibly be said to make things better. I have so wanted to walk up the road to hug you, just to hug you, because to say the words, I am so sorry, is just not enough. So many of us out there, all of your friends and family and Kellys, who want to hug you as well. One big long hug all together. What could any of us possibly do to help you? I ask myself this. Please know that I am just a few houses down the road, and I am here for you, whatever I could possibly do, I hope you will ask it of me. Kelly and I have had many precious talks between us over the years and I have always known her to have a rare and special spirit, a twinkle in her eyes that speaks a softeness to the world. We will all miss her so. I keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I can't imagine Kelly having any more of an brilliant smile when she entered heaven on Tuesday than the smile she always had on her earthly journey. She was a beautiful young lady inside out! Kelly touched many hearts in her career, military, and personal life! A young lady that will never be forgotten.
Kelly will be missed deeply by those that love her! Our thoughts and prayers are with Jack, Natalie, Josh, Sandra, Boyce, Valerie, Scott, & the Deitz family.
Sincerely,
Billy & Sharron (Wilson) Crain

I cherish our uplifting conversations, her words of wisdom, her kind gestures, that beaming smile and her genuine loving spirit. Kelly had a way of stopping everything she was doing right then and giving you her undivided attention and support. You were an amazing friend to many and will be missed by all. May God watch over the family and friends of this great woman.

We loved Kelly and love her sweet kids so much! Kelly has always been a bright light in our community and was certainly one of my favorite peers in nursing, sports moms when the kids were on teams together and sisters in Christ to share life with. This life isn't the end but this life is precious and valuable. Kelly's place here has certainly been significant.
We grieve with you and for you today and we pray for peace and rest, comfort and grace.
Much Love,
Crystal Akers
