With Love, Travis, Trina & Boys Nicki Warnick warnickn@byui.edu I only knew Kelli for this last month of her time here on earth, but I am so glad that I had the chance to interact with her. She just started to take care of my sweet little daughter Shiann at Lolo's and I had the chance to socialize with her and talk about our children together. She made my mornings easier with leaving my 11 month old daughter in her arms as I departed to work. It is so hard to leave my children but it is so enjoyable to return to pick them up. Heavenly Father had to leave Kelli here on earth for a time for work to be done and is now so excited to be able to return to pick her up. Pure enjoyment comes from being with family. Thanks for allowing us to have the opportunity to get to know Kelli. She will be missed by so many. Sincerely, The Warnicks Troy, Nicki, Tegan & Shiann Marty Wood Family martywood74@hotmail.com I know it's been along time since I've seen kelli but I have always cared about her and the rest of the (Lake) Family. She was like a little sister to me. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during your time of need. Brandy Escobar brandyescobar@hotmail.com I had the greatest opportunity in the world, I got to have Kelli as a coworker and a best friend here at LoLo's for 2 1/2 years. My heart goes out to the families of Kelli. Brett please let me know if I can help with anything. I love your children and I think that they would have a great time with my children. Be strong and know that Kelli is our Guarding Angel. She will always be watching us. I will miss you Kelli. Love, Brandy Nicole Mitchell Teacher Kelli was a big part of my daughter’s life while at LoLo's. Kendra loved her so much. I truly enjoyed talking with her and working with her for a short time at LoLo's. I was saddened to hear what happened. I had a great respect for Kelli. She always had a giggle for anyone and a great kindness that was shared with so many. She was a joy to know. Our hearts and prayers are with her family. Please remember - One way to have a little bit of heaven in your home is to have someone you love in heaven. Joe, Nicole, Kendra, and Victoria Mitchell Cari Luce carbowl3@hotmail.com I only worked with Kelli for a short time, but in that time I have seen how big her heart is for her family and for the children she took care of at LoLo's. She was one of the kindest, soft-spoken, caring people I've ever known. I will say a prayer for Kelli & her family for the loss they have felt. God be with you Kelli & take care of your little ones from above. XOXOXO Cari Luce Jessica Erhardt We were fortunate to have Kelli care for our daughter Sarah. In the time we knew each other, her caring attitude and kindness impacted our lives. Our deepest sympathies are with all her family, friends, and the children she worked with daily.
