I'm going to miss Kelli so much. I started the year out as her speech teacher at Ball and then I have also been helping out in her classroom the past couple of months. I just loved her personality and being around her could put a smile on my face no matter what. She was such a sweet little girl with a big heart. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

We are both so deeply saddened by the loss of your sweet Kelli. To be taken from you at such a young age. We know there is no pain more far-reaching and deeper than losing a child. Our hearts and prayers go out to you at this most difficult time. No one knows why bad things happen to those so innocent and whose life has hardly begun. For now it will have to remain the painful mystery that it is. Losses like this can make us challenge our faith; however, this is precisely the time when our faith needs to be its strongest. I am praying that your faith will help you through this very difficult time and help you to know that God's purpose, whatever it may be, is at work. I pray that you will find the strength to get you through your grief and sadness. Love Karl and Norma

She always made it fun whenever she came to Build a Bear Workshop to visit Angie Holloway, Gregg Moore, Stephanie Burris & I. She loved playing hide and go seek in the store, read a story book to us with Angie, played Elevator with Gregg, gave hugs to me and said silly things. Her smile and laugh was so cute. She will be missed with her bubbly personality. And I sure will miss playing laser tag with her at Build a Bear.

Im so sorry for your loss, no one should ever have to go through the pain of losing a child. Its a hard road but it will get easier as the days go by, i know how hard it is ive lost a child myself. She was a beautiful little girl.

Kelli was a joy to behold. her energy and smile was contagious! She made me smile every time I saw her, and when she left, I looked forward to seeing her again. Over the last couple years I saw her grow from a baby into a beautiful young lady. You were taken from us too soon and you will be missed more than words can express. We love you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Kelli was a joy to have in my classroom. Her smile definitely would light up any room. I remember her dressing up like a princess each day! She also loved music time, and would often sing songs as she played! She was a fun energetic little girl who had many friends. She will be missed.

My condolences on your families loss. I never met her, but if she was anything like her grandma, Lori, she had a beautiful personality and spirit. My prayers are with you all at this difficult time. God bless her.

I am so very sorry. I have seen you a hand full of times and every time you always had a smile on your face with those adorable little cheeks. I would always keep up with the photos on facebook to see how you have grown through the years. It is the hardest thing to think that you are no longer here with us on earth. But I know you are watching over all of us. And you would want us to keep smiling and remember the times you were here!!! We all love you soo much and will dearly miss you!!!

Kelli, I've only seen you but a couple times during your short life, and from what I saw you were a beautiful, smart, and lovable little girl. Your family was very blessed to have spent 4 wonderful years with you. May you rest safe and sound in God's loving arms, little sweetheart!
