I wish we were celebrating a Birthday today but instead I only have memories. I went to the cemetery over the summer and there were flowers there, for you and Buddy, like always. Your family still has them there every time I make it out that way. Its beautiful Kel. I hope your family is doing well. I think about Matthew at times and hope he is well. I wonder what he looks like and how much he remembers of you. . . . . I hope he knows how much you loved him. I remember the long hospital stays and you always talked (or wrote, if intubated) how you were concerned about him remembering you.
I pray I see you in my dreams again, its been so long. . . . . . .
Love you,
Shannon

6 years ago today you were taken from us. I am up tonight remembering some times we had together and wishing we had so many more. I'm remembering us going to Old Country Buffet and knowing you loved that restaurant. I'm remembering your love of pop tarts and smiling. I am remembering your laugh that was so contagious. I miss you so much and think about you so often. I'm so glad you were a part of life Kelly. I wish your family well.
Love Always,
Shannon

I haven't written in the guest book for awile but I have not forgotten you Kelly. Three years ago today you left us with broken hearts. I am remembering that awful day and thinking about your family. We told Johns dad to say hi to you when he passed away in July. I'm sure you guys are having fun in Heaven without your oxygen tanks anymore. I think of Matthew often and hope that he is doing ok.
Missing you terrible,
Love Always,

You would have been 26 tomorrow. I wish we were getting ready to celebrate another birthday with you. Instead all we can do is celebrate your short life that you had. We can celebrate the good memories and the laughs that we had together. People say to focus on all the good times. Somehow that is supposed to make us feel better, but why am I crying?
I just miss you!
Love Always,

It has been 1 year now since you went to heaven. Your an angel now, just like you told your mom you would be someday. I'm happy that your not in pain anymore but there are times that I miss you desperately. I feel so lucky to have had you in my life. I am lucky to have had a friend like you.
Thank you Kelly for being my friend and making such an impact on my life.
Love Always,

It has been a long time since i've written, although I think of you often. I have become very aware of little signs, little reminders of you. I'm sure we all have them.
Of course Tweety Bird is a big reminder for everybody who knew you. Some other things are cherry pop tarts, unicorns, girl scout cookies, (those coconut ones, right Tanya?) angels, Lou Malnatis Pizza.
There is a funny story behind that. We didn't know what to have for dinner one night so we decided to get pizza. Kelly had never had Lou's pizza before and she took a bite and made this awful face. She hated it! And we all know if she don't like it she AIN'T eating it! It was so funny. You could tell how she felt without her saying a word.
She had pop tarts for dinner.
I know there are many other things that remind me of her, but I can not think of them all. I just see it and immediately think of her. Does anybody have anything that reminds you of her?
I miss you Kelly, Love Always,
Shannon

Kelly - I am so sorry that I wasn't there to say good-bye. You are in my thoughts and prayers. It's been a long time since I seen you and you will be missed very much!!! It wasn't until earlier this month that I found out. Sorry I wasn't there. Sleep with the angels.
Love, Aimee

It finally happened Kel!! After all those nights of crying on your shoulder. John asked me to marry him tonight. We are finally engaged to be married. I wish I was on the phone telling you right now. I wish you could be there with me when it happens. I just wish you were here. I miss you. Love Ya,
FRIENDS FOREVER, Shannon
P.S. It's funny how on the way down town tonight we were passing Rush Hospital and I pointed out to John a room you were in last year. It was almost exactly a year ago. I was telling John that from your room you could see that train that had all the Christmas lights and Santa on it. I remember how excited you were about that train. At the same time we saw a van that had a big tweety bird on the back of it.
Thanks for being there Kel!!!!!!

I seen a poem the other day that I'd like to share.
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again.
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
I miss you Kel. Save a place up there for me. UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN!!
Happy Thanksgiving everybody.
Love, Shannon

I would like everybody to know that this guest book will remain here indefinately. My wish is that it will give us a chance to express our feelings with each other and Kelly. Please sign in as often as you'd like even if it is just a hello.
I miss you Kell. I see you in my dreams. No pain. No oxygen tanks. No medications. No more suffering for my freind. Keep those dreams coming, I miss you so much.

I can't be there today with you to say goodbye to Kelly - and I don't think my card will arrive in time either, but I want you to know you are all in my thoughts and prayers today - I hope you are able to get some comfort from those who can be there to share these difficult days with you and that you are able to get some stength from the love they have for you and had for Kelly. God Bless you all.
