Kelli was a christian and attended church and bible study at Horzion Christian Fellowship. She recruited individuals from the hospital and half way house when she was there recovering from the voices that haunted her every minute of every day. Kelli hoped to one day teach her two nieces Ali and Faith Kelli the word of God so they might be saved and given entrance into the Kindom of Heaven.  The "Her First Bibles" is something that Kelli wanted to give to each of her neices so Uncle Leroy bought the books giving them to the girls on Kelli's 35th birthday from the two of them. Faith Kelli to your left and Ali to your right.

Kelli wanted us all to be together in Heaven

Kelli was baptized in the catholic church then later christened in the Salvation Army Church

On your left Kelli's dad and mom, on your right Kelli's God Parents. Through Kelli's life she faced many trials and tribulations and with each one her faith only grew.

Kelli had but one true love LeRoy (her Dodi = beloved)

Leroy - A man so devoted to God and his fellow man. Who took my Kelli unconditionally and loved her for over 5 years. Who stood by her each time the demon voices ravaged her mind and body. Nuturing her, loving her, giving her hope of a better tomorrow,  a tomorrow which included a life time of love and understanding.

On October 4, 2006 Leroy asked Kelli to be his bride

Kelli's 1st love was her grandpa Pleau. He took over when Kelli's biological father passed away, she was 14 months old. A bond was tied that would never be broken.  Grandpa Pleau above at age 80 yrs young. April 12, 2008...The day of Kelli's Memorial

The angel you see above was made by grandma Pleau. Kelli kept it in her bedroom on a chair. It was her grandparents faith that taught Kelli to know God.

Grandpa Pleau 78 & Grandma Pleau 75

On  June 24, 2007 the LORD called Kelli's grandmother to heaven. she was 76 yrs. young.  Not a day went by that Kelli did not think of her grandmother. 

Clyde took Kelli to be his daughter on June 3, 1978. Clyde is proof that having a child doesn't make you a father. It is all the love, caring, patience and gray hairs that come through the years that make the father.

Parents who provided her cars and extra cash when she needed it.

"My son is my son tell he takes a wife but my daughter is my daughter all of her life"

Kelli and her mom

When this picture of Kelli and her mom was taken Kelli 's mom was on chemo for colon cancer. Kelli had been offering up prays daily for her mother. Her mother has been in remission for 2 1/2 years.  

 Kelli's Name Sake

Faith Elizabeth was Born on June 29, 2007 She weighed in at 3pd. Our families gift from God.

After the LORD called Kelli home, Her brother and wife paid tribute to Kelli by starting the paper work to have Faith Elizabeth's name changed to Faith Kelli. This should be completed in June of 2008. Kelli will not only be with us in our hearts but in name for years to come.

Kelli's brother and his wonderful wife with Faith Kelli - A younger brother with a family of his own who provided groceries for Kelli when she had none. A wife who bought cookware for her and made long distance trips to Peblo Colorado to visit her when she was in the mental hospital and bring Kelli home.

Kelli's sister the baby of the family, who bought Kelli shoes and clothes, who watched over her endlessly prepared to meet the responsibilites of taking care of Kelli as she aged and her disease progressed.

 All of them, Leroy, her brother his wife, her sister angels here on earth for Kelli.  Kelli's death devastated her siblings, not only was it their first experience with death it was the sudden death of a loved one that these kids had become caretakers to along with their parents.

Kelli and 1st cousin Angela.

Kelli was born in April of 1973 and Angela was born in August of that same year. Angela and Kelli were best buddies. As toddlers they would take all their clothes off including diapers and run down the street as naked as the day they were born.  One of us was always chasing after them.

 Though the LORD Called Kelli home just four days before her 35th birthday we had her birthday that Thursday April 10, 2008. It was a celebration of her life amid the grief and devastation of her death. She offered hope and encouragement and kindness to those afflicted with mental illness like herself working hard to get through one more day. It was and is an honor to be the family of Kelli... who we will all love forever.
