In Memory of Kelly

My thoughts and prayers with Kelly’s mom, family and friends. I am so sorry for your loss. Janis Kielbasa

My sincerest sympathies are with Kelly’s family. May loving memories sustain you.

I am deeply saddened to learn of Kelly’s passing. As a Hodgkin’s lymphoma survivor of 29 years and AVR patient with complications, this sad news hits very close to home for me. My heartfelt sympathies go to her family who will certainly be missed.

A lovely,strong,brave,admirable young woman has sadly passed on in peace.The photo of dear Kelly and her dear mother Emma exemplifies the beauty of a gentle,loving mother/daughter bond.Kelly will forever live on in the hearts of her loved ones and all we present heart blog members……Thank You Adam for your difficult, kind, extremely sad message.

I am so sorry to learn of Kelly’s death. She won the hearts of many of us with her courage and faith. We have no answer to why these things happen. We do have to believe that God has a plan for all of us. Know that we grieve with you.

Words cannot express how sorry I am that she was taken from this life at such a young age. May God bless Kelly and her family and friends during this very dificult time 🙁

Sincerely,

I feel so devastated to read of this sad news. It only reminds us that young people die every day from valvular heart disease. I was praying for Kelly & lit a candle for her in my parish. I will continue to pray for Kelly, her family, & friends at this most difficult time. May she rest in peace.
Sending love & prayers,

Several weeks ago when I read Kelly’s blog I was touched and impressed with her appreciation of life and her optimism about life in general. My prayers are with Kelly’s family.

I am so very sorry to hear of Kelly’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with Kelly, her mother and family as they have been since her surgery.

I’m so sorry. Kelly is a stranger and I have cried for her tonight. Only a very few people shine so brightly they touch even those who didn’t know them. Your Kelly was one.
Sincerely,
Nancy

Very sorry to hear that Kelly lost her fight.She had other
complications also.One can only hope that through Kelly’s loss
her Drs. and others involved in her treatments will have learned
new things about her complications with heart and N-H.Lymphoma.
Prayers to the family.

My heartbbreaks and tears cant stop pouring down my face. I continue to pray for you and your family. I didnt know u but you touched my heart. May our heavenly lord bless you and your family always.

Robert and I are so sorry for your loss. We prayed every day for God to please help her get better but her work here was done and even though I never really knew her I cried for her this morning. She wrote with such courage. May she now rest in peace. I will continue to pray for Kelly and all who loved her.

My prayers and sympathy to Kelly’s family. So very sorry.

It saddens me to learn of Kelly’s passing. There were so many prayers for Kelly. She was a courageous young lady and has endured so much in her young life. May she Rest In Peace and my condolences go out to Kelly’s family.

I am very sorry to hear of Kelly’s passing. Her courage and faith are a great inspiration. I will continue to pray for her and that her family and friends be comforted during this difficult time.

This is devastating news. I am keeping Kelly’s family in my thoughts and prayers. Such a vibrant and beautiful soul.
This kind of news is not easy to share so thank you Adam.

News of Kelly’s passing has my chest feeling like a rock has been placed there. My thoughts and prayers go out to her mother Emma & family. Praying for Kelly’s peace & for comfort & healing to all those close to her.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Kelly. My prayers are with her family.

We are so sad to hear this.I talked to kelly 2 days before she was to into the heart valve replacement,she was so calm and relaxed .she will be missed by our family.

I don’t know what religion Kelly & her family are (not that it matters). But I just want you all to know that I offered up my prayers today at Mass for Kelly. It’s amazing how we can be complete strangers from all over this country, yet united in our love & prayers for Kelly & her family. I simply can’t get her out of my mind.

My thoughts and prayers are with Kellys family and friends.

I am so sorry over the loss of Kelly. My thoughts and prayers go to the family and friends. God Bless, Diane Horsak

Wishing that I could think of something really special to write to offer to Kellys family and friends to comfort them,and I simply cannot think of anything worthy….but I do want to let Kellys family know I am thinking of them and I am so sorry. Kellys journal inspired me many times. My heart goes out to you, Kim C

Was very saddened to hear about Kelly’s struggle and of her passing. Thank you Adam for kindly sharing the news of her challenge and of her loss, that’s not easy to do. I didn’t know her at all but felt connected to her in sending thoughts and prayers for her recovery and healing. I have a similar history to Kelly of late-effects of lymphoma treatment at a young age being related to heart valve disease later in life and have recently had AVR. My thoughts for healing are with her Mom, family, and friends in remembering Kelly’s gift of life.

My deepest sympathies to Kelly’s family and friends. Our lives a truly fleeting, and the more we reach out
and touch others (as with Adam’s blog) the more we know we are not alone.
