We thank all of you for the many expressions of love extended to our family. I have asked Bruce to compose the following note to send out to everyone. (Due to Pop's illness, we are deferring any KS gathering. Pop's MD has emphasized the importance of focusing on his continuing care and treatment.) Kelli was dear to all of us, always expressed her love of family/friends, and would have wanted us to focus on Pop's well being. Know that all of you will celebrate Kelli's life in your own hearts and ask all of you to also keep Bruce in your thoughts and prayers during this sad time in our lives.
Love,
Mom
To Friends and Family,
There have been many questions regarding Kelli’s passing and it is difficult to keep everyone who knew and loved her informed. I want everyone to know that Kelli passed quickly and did not suffer.
Due to the difficulty of assembling everyone from all over the country, we have decided not to have a formal service and will have a couple of small family gatherings in Colorado and Kansas. With this is mind, in lieu of flowers, if you would like to express your sympathy, we are suggesting a donation to the Colorado Pug Rescue www.copugrescue.org a non profit organization dedicated to pug welfare that Kelli was fond of.
Thank you for your kindness and condolences. Kelli and I are very fortunate to have so many loving family members and friends.
Please keep Kelli in your thoughts and prayers.
Bruce

Just want you to know how truly sorry I am. There is plenty in life that I do not understand but what I do know is through it all there are always people around who love you and will hold you up.
I am saddened by Kelli's passing. She could light up a room and always made me laugh! I knew Kelli from "back in the day" as I grew up in Valley Center, KS. We had lost touch until recently when we reunited via email. I will cheriesh the fact that we were ablt to rekindle our friendship before her passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this trying time.
