Please accept my sympathy in the passing of your daughter. I was just logged on to this website and was reading the obituaries. Kelsy sounded like she was a little fighter and full of life. Her time and purpose on earth for this brief period of time may never be known to us now but one day when we stand with Jesus we will see. Be comforted in knowing she is with Him and is whole,complete and happy waiting on you to join her one day. May God bless you and all your family in this time of grieving.

Dear Emblem Family,
While I did not know Kelsey, I know the rest of the children well enough to imagine the sweet person she was. I pray that Erik and Kari find the strength they need at this time. I want to especially give my heartfelt wishes to Seth, Caleb, and Summer. You are all special. I care about you in this sad time.
I am sorry to hear of your loss. It may not seem like it right now, but God never gives you more than you can handle. Remember that to be absent from here is to be present with the Lord. May God bless you and your family.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of Kelsey’s family. We will miss seeing Kelsey at Viking Hills. She was a sweet, caring child and will be missed by all at Viking Hills.
We love you all and will be praying that God will continue to strengthen each of you during this most difficult time! Kelsey was special to all of us!
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. I taught second grade at Viking Hills this year and was blessed to get to know Kelsey. Ms. Pullin often spoke of how much of ray of sunshine Kelsey was to have in class. She will always be a Ray of sunshine in all our lives. She was such a courageously sweet little girl. She will be deeply missed. I hope you find comfort in knowing that our precious Lord and Savior has his arms wrapped tenderly around her. It is a comfort to know she is an amazing angel watching over all of us.
Kelsey was an inspiration to me with her courage, wisdom and her smile. She never once showed fear. She always had a smile at school. I will miss her dearly and miss her smile when she would come to me as her nurse. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Lisa Boatman LVN Viking Hills Elementary
