I will never understand why things like this occur, but a saying my family has is "If God brings you to it, he will help see you through it." I am praying for you all that your suffering may be eased and the guilty will be punished.

To the parents of Kelsey, I am so sorry about your beautiful daughter. Did she have brothers or sisters. I have a special place in my heart for them too. I too lost my brother 17 years ago when someone (never found) took him away from me. God gave me the will to continue, and my friends prayers sustained me. He was like my twin. Not a day goes by that I do not think about him. I will pray for your days ahead and the wisdom of the police.

My family has followed this story because our beautiful 20 year old daughter lives, works and goes to college in OP. This has always been my worse fear that some animal will steal our heart with a brutal crime. I know you were extremely proud of your daughter. She seems like the daughter that could and did make the world a better place.

May you find the strength and peace that you will need to get through this senseless tragedy. I hope the local law enforcement finds this animal who felt the need to end the life of that beautiful girl that you loved so much.

God bless your family and friends who are left with her memories.

I purposely turned on the TV tonight to see if there was any news about Kelsey. I first saw the story a couple of days ago. I thought about Kelsey since then, she is so beautiful in the pictures. My heart sank as I heard the update this evening. We can never understand why people behave in such a way towards another person, I do not think I could find a way to forgive anyone who harmed my child but I wish I could help ease your pain in some way, for a moment, a minute, an hour, a day, forever. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Be as strong as you can be...for Kelsey.

Greg & Missy, my condolences to you, your family and Kelsey's friends. Many (too many) have lived your nightmarish days of last and know the deepness of your pain that burns into the morrow.

Kelsey was greeted in Heaven by Ashton Glover taken on July 7, 2006 in Sugar Land, Texas by two men (who only wanted to watch someone die) and by the many other beautiful souls who were taken before her and after her.

Ashton's mother is my best friend and Ashton was my daughter's best friend. My heart's scar has cracked wide open again for your loss and my soul weeps for you. Every day I watched, I hoped, I hoped.......I hoped that you wouldn't know.....this.

Borrowed words from Ashton's mother are "Earth cannot deal what Heaven cannot heal", "As the sun sets each day you are one day closer to your reunion with your daughter".

For those who are reading please remember this: If you are called as a juror please don't back out on your duty because you don't want to miss work, be bored, etc. These people need to be punished and locked away forever if not put to death! It's called Jury Duty because we have a duty to serve!
