About Kelsey...

When Kelsey was born, all I could focus on was how big and brown her eyes were. She was an easy baby to raise, all I had to do was pick her up and walk with her and she would go right to sleep.

She loved her brothers growing up. She started out with Kyle and Ryan. They all played together a lot as children. Out in the cul-de-sac with the neighbors. They rode bikes and the electric jeep. She was great when Jared came along and was always so helpful when he was a baby.

She grew into a beautiful young woman. Not only was she beautiful with her doe like brown eyes and dimpled cheeks but she was intelligent, sweet, kind and loving.

She was always there for everyone else. Her mom, her friends and me.

I loved talking to her because underneath her tough exterior she had such thoughtful ideas.

She always loved animals. She had dogs, cats and ferrets. Her cat Pepe was with her when she left us.

I will miss her so much and miss what I wanted to say to her over the rest of her life.

She was so mentally tough and resilient. I wish she saw more of what we all saw in her.

I love you always Kelsey.
