My dear friend Kelly Kennedy, where do I begin? I will always cherish and remember meeting you in High School. Who would have known back then all of the amazing times we would have together all these years later. Our wild and crazy 20's(bar hopping), our 30's (becoming more responsible), in our 40's ( the wine parties, dinners, and shopping), and in our 50's (lunches, our talks and reminiscing about the good old days). You were my partner in crime(back in the day), the maid of honor at my wedding, one of my very best friends for a long time. You had a heart of gold, there wasn't anything you wouldn't do for a friend. Your laugh was infectious, and we sure laughed lot. Your positive attitude on life and your illness made you an inspiration and a hero in my book. I will miss everything about you my dear friend. I love you. Until we meet again. RIP
