Auntie Kelly-

You are an amazing sister, the way you take care of my brother and sisters is great. Kim should be very happy that you are here for all of us doing what you can. We love you very much. Its hard reading this because Im still so sad and confused about all thats happened. I just want her around. Especially to meet my son who wouldve loved his crazy grandma. Everyday I look at him and wish she were here to share in our joy. They say it gets easier, and maybe it does, but it still takes time. Your story is beautiful and she knows that you are here for all of us. You are a warrior too and we respect and love you very much!!! Xoxoxo

Kelly – I am a man of few words and even fewer emotions. I will tell you that your sister Kim’s story, told through your eyes, brought me to tears. It appears that, through your writing, you and your family are gaining more and more strength every day. Love the fact you honor your sister’s memory by writing about the true inspiration that she was. Also know that in the years to come, her children will become the best of us. With a beautiful, strong mother like your sister, I can’t see it happening any other way. Your story was very inspirational to me in more ways than I can count. It gave me a great perspective to deal with the death of my mother from cancer in October of ‘03 – three weeks before my first diagnosis of cancer. Thank you for your thoughts, feelings, perspective, and openness. I will try to make them part of me.

Kelly,

My heart goes out to you and your family, especially Kim’s young children. It hurts when we lose a loved one, but when they go on short notice and so young it just makes us all wonder why.

I’m wishing you all the strength and more that you will need to get through this very tough time.

Kelly,
Wow what an amazing tribute to Kim she, I’m sure knows what you wrote and is telling the Angels up there yea that’s my sister. You covered everything so beautifuly. It is very hard losing someone you love but watching them suffer is even harder so when they are gone it is somehow a relief knowing they are no longer in any pain if that makes any sense. I know when I lost my mother I thought I was happy not to see her in any more pain but not happy she had to leave us. You did a great job on your tribute and remember to hold on to all your memories and that somehow helps to keep you going. Don’t forget if you ever want to talk I am here for you. Here is a little something I want you to think about : It’s hard to understand why people are taken from us, but find comfort in knowing you were a special part of such a well-lived life. And when the Lord calls or loved ones home he leaves a gift of memories in exchange.
Love, Linda

Kim was very special, Kelly, and she was so loved by so many, touching lives that even she wasn’t even aware of. You’ve written a very powerful story.

Kelly – You are such a beautiful writer. Thanks so much for sharing! Kim once said what was not fair about Cancer was that she was the one who gets it and all her loved ones are the ones who have to suffer with it also. Kim was so inspirational, and she changed the lives of so many through her writing. She was THE toughest fighter and I miss her dearly. I know there are a lot of people out there feeling connected to you because they are going through the same pain of losing their loved ones. Kim was so strong, and although we knew how bad things were getting for her, we never thought we would lose her. Thanks so much for sharing your story and thanks so much for your friendship!
Love, Kelly

A beautiful tribute, and an inspiration for others fighting the fight; or coping with the aftermath when the fight was not won. Great stuff, Kelly.
