Bill and Family:I was so saddened to hear that Kelly had passed away, even though I knew a miracle was needed to keep her here for awhile longer.
I had the pleasure of working with her at Sandy Point for ten months. She was a remarkable, skilled and caring person. I have missed her every day since I left there. She taught me much, had incredible patience, and stood strong on her principles.
She will be missed by all of us who had the opportunity to spend time with her.
My deepest sympathies to you and the family.

Bill and Kelly’s family: It’s always hard to know the right words to say, but we are heartened by some of
precious moments with Kelly and Bill, and to share her ups and downs…..What a
great attitude she had. We gained a tremendous amount for respect for her…..We
already miss the hugs……
