Dear Cousin Kelli,
Your physical presence upon this Earth will be missed. You left a unique and beautiful impression upon my heart and mind. You were a great role model of what a good and decent human being is. You were kind, caring, strong, intelligent, talented, beautiful and so very much more. Thank you for sharing your love and your life. You will be thought of with love. 
  
Your Cousin,
Deronda Phipps

I didn’t know Kelli but my family and I would like to send our sincere condolences to Gail, Kelli’s son and the entire family. Gail has been a wonderful Nurse for my 87 year old father. We have had many intimate discussions  and shed tears together regarding our individual journeys
with the illness of a loved one. Gail never wavered from the care she gave our dad despite her own personal challenges. I believe that God knows who to place in your path and when. We kept each other encouraged.  Kelli can now rest in our Father’s arms!

Me and Kelli were opposites. She was outgoing, fun, and always ready to smile. I was closed off, shy, and kind of a bummer but those eyes and that smile are engraved in my memory forever. I shared a lot with Kelli. I shared a class in Highschool, a best friend, and even an ice-cream. She was so cool. So nice. She was so much that I wasn't and I was jealous for sure but in the end, every time I thought about her I was reminded to let loose a bit. Don't be scared to open up and last but not least, have fun and enjoy life. She could do that! Her personality was beautiful. 

While it breaks my heart to hear of her passing, I know others who are having a harder time. My deepest condolences go out to all those souls who were lucky enough to know Kelli. What a strong girl. So much to be proud about. So much to carry on inside us. Thank you Kelli.

I will forever remember Kelli as the one who made me smile even when I had no idea why.

I don’t have any memories but finding my cousin with a great name! I wished I had gotten a chance to meet you! To all her family, friends especially siblings and son I send a huge prayer and condolences to you all! My dad and her dad were cousins! My prayers go out to all of you! I had a great cousin who was in touch and reached out! 
Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted! I know my granny is hanging out with you! Xo


Your cousin,
Kelly

Kelli's passing is such a shock .  
She was such a big part of the Moffitt family,  and we loved her so much. 

I remember having some of our kids together and from Jacob to Michelle they were like stair steps . My Justin, Kelli, and Michelle are near exactly one year apart. In that order.  What a blessing they all have been!

Gail, Roger and the whole family, our prayers of comfort are wilth you. Remember her strength and intense fight. She was so strong in her weakest times.  Keep her memory alive for Michael, and hold him tight.  She was welcomed home by so many who loved her too.
I love you all

I met Kelli when we were both in middle school.   We connected over a mutual love of geeky things like anime and video games.  At the time I was still hesitant to share that part of myself with the world, but Kelli was open and unapologetic about the things she enjoyed.  I admired that about her, and continue to.  She loved things in her life passionately,  whether it was her hobbies or her family.  

Kelli has been a part of the Wells family for quite some time! She was at a fair share of cookouts, holidays and volleyball at my aunt Paulette’s house! My best memories of Kelli is that she was always smiling no matter what! You would never know she was ever in pain or fighting her battle! But the battle is over & now she is the arms of the lord! She will always be with all who she has encountered in this life & will watch over her family, especially her son, Michael. The sweetest soul will be missed from our family!  My condolences to her family through this difficult time.  

Kelli was quiet and gentle, beautiful inside and out. She left a footprint in my heart and she will be sorely missed. I look forward to seeing her in glory and never having to say goodbye again. I pray for comfort and strength for all of us who loved her.

Brothers, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who are without hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we also believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him. By the word of the Lord, we declare to you that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise. After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.
1Thesselonians 4:13-17
Amen


To all of Kelli's family, I am so so sorry for your loss, Kelli was one of those people who when you met  her you didnt forget her.  Kind, gentle, selflessness, talented,,,, Heaven sure has gained one strong fighting angel.May her Beautiful soul RIP,
