We hung out a lot growing up when our moms would organize things, like going to Splish Splash, or the North Babylon Haunted House, or just other random things. I remember we saw Flyleaf at Looney Tunes (they're like my favorite band) and we got to meet them. I also remember my mom giving me a CD that you burned of My Chemical Romance's The Black Parade which was really cool and is still floating around somewhere in my house!! Even though we didn't hang out much, or at all in the last few years, I always looked at those times fondly and as some of my best memories growing up. From my own experience and hearing stories from others you were always so nice and really made a difference in people's lives for the better. Thanks for everything (especially that CD). 

We met in 2006. Kelly was my first friend when I moved to West Babylon. We were on the same bus and the rest is history. I would get off at her bustop, instead of my own, almost every day. We would play MTV music videos and cut out our favorite band members from magazines to hang on the walls. Kelly, Stacey and I would ride our bikes everywhere and we were always trying to find ways to convince our mom's to let us have sleepovers. We would all wear that same HIM sweatshirt and we'd smear black eyeliner down our faces. Then we grew older and Kelly got me hired at Hot Topic. I couldn't have imagined a more fitting job for us. Kelly's always been there, through all of my heartbreaks and downfalls. After all these years, I'd still go to her when I was hurting and she was always there. Yet, whenever Kelly was sad she would still ask me how I was doing. She always put everyone else before herself, right to the end. I love that girl with all my heart, I would not be who I am today had I never met her. I'm beyond grateful to have had the chance to love such an amazing soul. Words can't express how much she will be missed. I lost a piece of me that day. So long and goodnight, my friend. 

We met in 2005. We became best friends immediately. It was always the three of us,..you, Nicolle, and I. I’ll never forget the endless memories we have growing up. When you carried around a paper cutout of Tom Delonge from your Blink 182 poster wherever we went. We rode our bikes everywhere together. I’ll never forget when you fell off your bike and Nicolle ran you over with hers on accident and we all cried laughing together. You used to eat an entire jar of queso as a meal for fun. One time we filled an entire can with caterpillars together but you filled it with soda for them to swim. I miss being kids, and you coming over to see my pet bunnies you loved so so much. I wish we took more pictures and videos as kids being as ridiculous as we were. Although we all grew up, whenever we got together we would be exactly where we left off. I cherish every moment we had. I miss you so much and I will love you forever. 

Kelly was not only an amazing person she was a great friend to all ❤️❤️ sending so much love and prayers to all of her family and friends. I’ll never forget my first day of Spencer’s where I was terrified to even be there you were so nice, it was your first day too, we had no idea what we were doing so we just said hi to everyone 😂. The times we use to have laughing all night looking at the stars, you were the only person who could rap Eminem with me and then go right back to punk music, and all the care packages we made for you to feel better. Even though we haven’t talked in awhile I will never forget all the times we had and memories we shared. Kelly it feel unreal writing this right now and seeing your not here, I wish it wasn’t real and we could pick up where we left off but I know ur living ur best life wherever u are now. Rest In Peace Kelly, u are truly unforgettable ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

There are so many memories I couldn't even pick my favorite ones. But one of my fondest memories was when we used to go to CD signings and try to get on camera for the interviews. We actually succeeded once when we met Angel's and airwaves. When we went to universal with the music wing was the greatest time. You made it fun but taking ridiculous pictures and trying on ridiculous outfits. And you forced me on all the rides I was terrified of. I miss lab class in college when every time we had to put on the gloves you'd make uncomfortable eye contact and snap the glove at me. You were my best friend through high school and college. A piece of me left with you, I love you so much, and I'm going to miss you forever. Halloween will never be the same. Rest easy my friend. 

Family,
 I remember the first time I met Kelly. Kathleen welcomed me into her home and, hanging up was a huge banner saying, “Welcome Darrin!” that Kelly and Kristin had made. Kelly and I hit it off right from the start. 
  We hung out by the pool, ate some awesome pizza together and even rode the carousel with Kristin at Adventureland. 
 Even though I visited only a week and our time together was less than that, we formed a bond and continued to stay in contact through the years as she grew to a young lady. 
 We shared a love of music and of course, before the habit was finally kicked, a love of Mountain Dew! We often teased each other about who drank the most. 
 Thank You Kelly and family for so many wonderful memories. You all will forever have a piece of my heart.
