Having taken care of the Murray kids for many years now, it is with heartfelt sadness that I sign this guestbook. Kelli was such a caring, devoted mother and I always looked forward to her friendly smile with each of the kid’s visits. May the beauty of love that she gave to these children endure with them and be an everlasting source of strength and peace.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Dr. Mark Curdo & Family

We are incredibly saddened by the sudden loss of Kelli. Kelli was full of so much love and happiness and we feel very blessed for having known such a wonderful person. You are all in our hearts and prayers.
I first met Kelli about 15 years ago when she worked at Dr Rotolo’s office. And although I have never had the pleasure of meeting her family (except her Mom at Market Basket shopping with Kelli) I cannot begin to express how sorry I am for your devastating loss. Kelli was always a ray of sunshine whenever I had the pleasure of running into her around Wilmington. Not many people possess the special qualities that Kellil had..she was truly a top-notch human being who will be sorely missed by many. She touched so many lives in a positive way. I pray that you feel the love and prayers coming your way. There are many heavy hearts thinking of you with deepest sympathies….God bless you all!
Joe and Family,
We are so saddened by the loss of your amazing Kelli. No words can describe the pain and anguish we feel for you all. She was such a beautiful, loving, caring, sweet person. I feel so blessed to be a friend of Kelli’s. May all your wonderful memories of Kelli help you get through this difficult time. I know I certainly will remember all the good times I shared with Kelli and our children.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Rick, Kerry, Kourtney & Kyle
I am deeply saddened by the loss of Kelli. I worked closely with Kelli during her time on Team Tammy (MRSI). She was a phenomenal member of our team and she will forever be missed. I am blessed to have been able to meet her, in person, this past November and am glad that I had the opportunity to work with her. She was truly a wonderful, and vibrant, individual and I am deeply saddened by her passing.
With Sympathy,
