Hello to all of Kelly's family and friends. I went to Spotswood College for a few years with Kelly back in the day. We may not have stayed in contact after my family and I moved, but I've always considered Kelly to be one of my best friends. I remember when she went to France, Kelly was so excited and, I for her. She got to achieve one of her many many dreams. To Kelly's family, she would've been proud of the service and everything today. The coffin was typical Kelly

My deepest of sympathies and so much love you all, Kel was a light, an aura of joy, a spark of quirky humour, sarcastic and full of love. She said what she meant and meant what she said, honest, loyal and smile to light even the darkest of rooms. Much love Kelly, xox
