Keely always inspired me with her perseverance! I remain impressed by her lack of entitlement or complaints! She personified Philippians 4.8! She always expressed her desire for inward freedom than the healing from cancer— she searched and ran after that freedom with “an open face looking to the Lord, as in a mirror, and was transformed from glory to glory, by His Spirit”! 2 Corinthians 3.16-18. Now she is BOTH, free and healed!
I will remain challenged by Keely’s faith and genuine love for Jesus!
I asked her once what her favorite color was and she said, “I don’t have ONE! I like them all!” That displayed her heart so well— she lived unabashed, in fullness of color! She always left “color”! She saw in “color”! Color never intimidated her, it was where she thrived! Color speaks HOPE to me! Keely lived with HOPE and now she is definitely thriving in FULL COLOR!
“Now may the God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15.13
Her hope ran deep, deep, deep and it radiated from her smile. Thank you, Keely, for all you gave in the short 8 years of knowing you! Jesus IS REAL!
With all sincerity,
Cheryl Estes (neighbor and friend)

I met her at her work place and felt a connection with her. She had an infectious personality that touched me. She was one talented lady. I am sure she will be missed by all who came in contact with her.

My heart breaks everyday knowing I will never hug Keely or stare into her beautiful eyes again. But my heart sings knowing that she is out of pain and with her Jacob in Heaven. Keely you were the best friend a girl could ask for. How blessed am I to know I chose you and you chose me back. I love you to the moon and back Sister!
