    Our beautiful baby girl has gone to heaven to see all her relatives that predeceased her. She was an angel on this earth and now is one in heaven. Kelly you will be so sadly missed I don't know what I will do without my girl to talk to, but I can talk to you any time I want now. You were always the perfect, beautiful daughter. Everyone that met you fell in love with you. You were so easy to love. Now you can help me watch over Dad. We will love you forever, Dad and Chris

    So sorry for your loss. Kelly was a great friend to my sister Tracy D'Allessandro for many years. Through the years I have gotten to know Kelly, Jeff and Hailey. What a beautiful family and my heart just breaks for them. When my mom passed away a few months ago Kelly brought Hailey to the wake because Hailey said she really liked us and wanted to be there for us. Kelly is no longer suffering and is now your angel in heaven. Soaring free without the chains of this horrible disease. May strength get her family through the next few days and memories get you through each day until you meet again. We will really miss her. xoxo

    We met through her sister Lynn and I always knew Kelly as a beautiful loving caring person and friend. Had some great conversations. She was taken way too soon but I guess God needed another angel in Heaven. Kelly, you will truly be missed by all you have come in contact with.

    So sorry for your loss

    I met Kelly at IEI through her sister Lynn. I instantly fell in love with her sweetness. I was blessed to be part of her wedding party. Over time we lost touch. Fortunately we touched base again when we were both fighting our breast cancer around the same time. Kelly was so positive and so loving that she got me through some real rough times. I will never forget. She is an angel watching over all of us.
