    Oh Linda, my heart is broken . It’s broken for you, Kaleb and Aunt Margie. I know all of you were close and by her side non stop through the last several years. She was the best friend everyone wish they had. We were inseparable for many years and I will always miss that about her. I just know she is in a better place, even as hard as it is to have lost her here on earth . You’r family will be in my thoughts and prayers for months to come. Please reach out to me if you need anything at all.

    Linda, so sorry for your loss. Kelli was such a free spirit and she will be missed by a lot of people and friends. Rest easy now knowing that she is in GOD’S hands and he will take good care of her now. Her and Ron are together now so they have each other now. What a great pair that will be.

    Linda & Kaleb: I’m sorry I can’t include the rest of the family but the way the have acted I just won’t. I was friends with Kelli for32 years. We worked together @ Dillon’s. She was my adoptive daughter as you know. We have been together through thick and thin. She was a huge part of my family. I’ll miss you during chief’s footaball and Daytona 500. We always argued about who was better that the other during racing season. We had different taste but that’s what made us best friends. I’ll miss you until we meet again. I LOVE you and miss you. Love MOM Wieneman
