Upon Kelly
SUE MELESKI - KINGSFORD, Mi
I was very suprised to hear of Kelly’s passing. We were old roommates back in the early ’80s. We hadn’t kept in touch but I remember her as a fun, full of life woman and hope she knows peace. My condolences – Sue Buckland Meleski

Art and I are saddened to learn of Kelly’s passing, and extend our sympathy to Matt and her family.Memories of Kelly, trip to a cabin in Big Bear CA, with cousins, and to Catalina Island for Craig’s wedding. Kelly singing on open mike night, she had a beautiful voice.
Her chicken and dumplings…
Kelly had her demons and struggles, as we all do, be at peace and rest now, we will see you again

Our “Matts” snowboarded together at the Gladstone Sports Park and developed a nice friendship. Kelly was such a good Mom! Sorry for your loss and praying for your family.

I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter, Kelly. We were co workers at the paper mill. I know she will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.. May she rest in peace..
