View all 53 ReflectionsMy father, Jerry Weaver, was very close with Kelly as a friend and co-worker. When she passed my sister was 4 and I was not yet 1. As kids our dad would take us to visit her grave site and tell us all about her. We still think of her till this day. What a tragic event for such a beautiful soul.
