EVEN WARRIORS GET TIRED

One year ago today, Kelly posted this to her Facebook page.  It was her last post............

As many of you know, I have fought liver disease for 10 years. After just being discharged again from the hospital after a very tough episode, I have decided to lay down my sword. Even warriors get tired. I'll be cared for by palliative care. "The worse the passage the more welcome the port"

  1. Mercy, me! I thought you were saying YOU had liver disease. My heart is still galloping. You be well now! You hear?

  2. I was totally shocked to see that post that day. To me, it exemplified what Kelly was: a tremendously brave woman who WOULD go out as the one in charge. She was no wimp; that strong will earned respect and admiration. We are poorer with her departure, but WOW, what an example she set! She was a wonderful human being. And, Al, for sure you carry her with you every single day.

  6. Brings back memories of her long struggle. I was difficult for both of you and you both handled it as best you could. She was a warrior.

  10. It was a sad day then as the reminder now. Kelly was always helping troubleshoot someone's electronic problems. She was a Treasure.
