To the Ostry family,
I am so sorry for your loss-for all of our loss. Kelly was one of the kindest and most fun-loving people I knew. We had so much fun through the years. She loved her family and was so proud of all her brothers. The world will be a much quieter place without Kelly and her laugh. I will miss her terribly. You all are in my prayers.

Mary, Dick, the Ostry Family and the Rainone Family ...
Our sincere sympathy and condolence on the loss of Kelly! We could hardly believe it when Christine called us. How terribly sad that one of the "children" is gone. We remember Kelly as a pal and classmate of Chris' ... what a spunky, fun little girl she always was ... the true product of a house full of brothers! We will keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers.
