From Mary and Richard:
Kelli would have been 41 today! Unbelieveably she has been gone for two years, eight months and 19 days. It does not get any easier. Our lives go on, good things do happen, we smile, we laugh, we cry and we keep moving forward, living with many, many wonderful memories of a very special young woman. We treasure Kelli's friends as well as ours, along with our family and all those who continue to reach out and share their lives with us.
Kelli would have been so very happy this year and we do feel she continues to look down upon us. Kimberlee was married to a terrific young man in July at our home in Connecticut. It sprinkled for 45 seconds during the ceremony-an Irish blessing from Kelli! Kimberlee just told us she is pregnant and is expecting in May. Kelli would have been so happy! Obama was elected president-another event that would have thrilled her. We leave soon for our annual Thanksgiving visit to St Martin a trip that Kelli always looked forward to so much.
To those of you who keep in touch, please continue to do so. To those who haven't, please try to. Share your memories of your special friend. It is so wonderful to know she is still remembered and loved. The twinkle in her eyes, the dimple in her cheek, her radiant smile, her enthusiasm for life, people, children, food, music(she must have known the words to every song ever written) and all the simple pleasures we so often take for granted keep us going.
Bless you all!
