Kelly Brendel

After a long and arduous battle, Kelly has gone home to rest. She was an incredible warrior that lived to the fullest as a mom, wife, daughter, sister and friend. She inspired many along the way with her radiant smile and the joy she lived with even in the most significant bouts of adversity.

Unfortunately, there are still significant challenges ahead with the cost of her medical care coupled with her end-of-life expenses. All funds raised will be aimed in that direction and any left over will be placed in a college fund for our precious daughter Kelcie. All she wanted in the end was to know Kelcie would be taken care of going forward and it is of the utmost importance to make sure that is accomplished.

I know many of you have donated before, and please know if it is not possible that we will be OK. I have had a large number of folks reach out and ask how they could help, so this is simply an avenue for that to happen in her memory.

To close, I want to thank all of you that have gone out of your way to support Kelly's fight over the past five and a half years. It lifted her up in tough times and helped our family immensely in the good times and bad. She was a true warrior that fought to the finish and never gave in. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.
