Greg, Missey, and the entire Smith family would like to express their deep appreciation for the outpouring of love and support from across the country and around the world. The comments you posted here will sustain them in the days ahead.
Now that Kelsey has been found, although it was not the outcome we wanted, the site FindKelsey.com is no longer needed. The family is creating a new site for Kelsey's Army. New information will be posted there going forward.
We will be turning off comments on this site soon. Please send any additional comments, concerns, and condolences to comments@kelseysarmy.com.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I am a stranger to you, but my heart breaks for you; as her mother, father, and siblings... words cannot express adequately my heartfelt sorrow for your pain. I will pray for you, her friends, teachers, classmates... for Kelsey's soul and all that love her and those in pain right now, may God bring you some peace.
Sincerely,

Our heart goes out to your family and friends. God Bless and Semper Fi.
I just wanted to tell Kelsey's family and friends how sorry I am for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Kelsey
Pretty smile, pretty girl
At her feet lay the whole wide world
And now heaven is a lovlier place
To have gained her kindness and gentle grace
Be strong loved ones, don't be sad
Someday your hearts will be lifted and glad
You will hold beloved Kelsey near
And hear her whisper in your ear
"I love you!"
How it ends
Here it was - judgement day
At her feet the offender knelt to beg
The maiden graciously forgave
But the price still had to be paid
His guilt consumed him from within
Forever soiled, unclean with sin
But her glory shone bright and pure
A queen in heaven forevermore.
I am so sorry for your incredible loss. There can never be the right words at a time like this. I did not know you or your precious Kelsey but I feel as if I did.
My thoughts are with you.

Dear Smith Family...my prayers and heartfelt sorrow are with you today. I see the photos of your beautiful daughter so full of life and I can only imagine the beautiful spirit that filled her soul. You have been blessed for 18 years and now her memory will sustain you for the rest of your time here on earth. Someday you will be united in Heaven with your special angel and you will be comforted by the love of Jesus. Your faith is your courage and that is what people will remember about you as the months follow this tragedy and that will give those of faith continued strength in this troubled world. God bless you and all those that you love. Mary Williams in Heyburn,Idaho. (I am originally from Seneca, Kansas - I know the faith of the midwest - you will be okay.

The whole nation weeps with you for Kelsey. I am so very sorry for your unspeakable loss. My ladies' Bible study read Psalm 46 together this morning as we spoke of you and your beautiful daughter. Please know that Kelsey's life and your faith touched millions who will never know you, but who will uphold you in their thoughts and prayers. May God hold you close in these difficult days, and may you find comfort in the promise of eternal life, where you will see Kelsey again.
Our hearts are torn and broken in half from the results. My prayers and thoughts go out to the Smith Family. Everyday I think about the Smith Family, Im always asking if there was new info. about the case. Im very sorry for the loss of Kelsey. She was a beautiful girl and looked as if she had a whole life ahead of her. You have the support from everyone, so may you be very blessed.. Your in my thoughts and prayers...

Just want you to know there are candles burning for Kelsey all over the country right now, from my family in MS to my sister's in NY. Stay strong. Keep faith
I am so sorry you have to go through this pain. I too have family in all over Colorado burning candles for Kelsey. You should know what an impact your Kelsey has had on the world and will continue to have.
My family and I are so sorry for your loss. Your daughter/girlfriend was a beautiful young lady. We will continue to pray for you in this terrible time.

In time, the heart heals, leaving us with memories — not of our sorrow, but of the love we have known. In all the days ahead — we are wishing you strength and peace.

I cannot stop thinking about this tragedy. I have a daughter about Kelsey's age who, from your decriptions of Kelsey's personality, is very much like her. I am shuddering to imagine what pain you must be in. I wish I could do something to help you. YOu are in my prayers.
Sometimes words can't describe grief. I feel like I cannot use words to describe my grief, so I can't imagine how you all are feeling. I didn't know Kelsey, but I know many people who did. I'm deeply, deeply saddened and sorry. Here is a song by Mark Schultz, I hope, just maybe, it will help:
"I call, You hear me
I've lost it all
And it's more than I can bear
I feel so empty
You're strong, I'm weary
I'm holding on
But I feel like giving in
But still You're with me
[chorus]
And even though I'm walking
Through the valley of the shadow
I will hold tight to the hand of Him
Whose love will comfort me
And when all hope is gone
And I've been wounded in the battle
He is all the strength that I will ever need
He will carry me
I know I'm broken
But You alone
Can mend this heart of mine
You're always with me
And even though I feel so lonely
Like I have never been before
You never said it would be easy
But You said You'd see me through the storm"
I've been crying out to Jesus on your behalf and will continue to do so.
May the peace which passes all understanding guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
I can not imagine your pain. I have a 7 year old, I don't know how I could go on without him. I am so sorry. We live in a cruel and wicked world. I am not sure how we got here but we need to change it.
From a mother of four teenage girls I can only imagine your pain...I cannot imagine how one could go on with a pain like the one you are enduring. I'm so sorry about your families loss. It makes me very angry at the type of world we are living in. Sometimes it makes me question GOD, I know that's wrong but stuff like this is too much!!! Please!!!! STOP THE INSANITY!!!
I have no words. I'm just so very, very sorry.
Iowa is weeping for you.
Dear Smith Family,
I deeply feel your pain as I have lost a sister of 16yrs young in Feb. 2004. She died suddenly caused by a brain aneurism. It is a terrible loss and a tradegy. I am so very sorry for your loss. I was in tears when I found out that she died. When I first heard of the story of Kelsey missing, I hoped for the best, that she would come home safe. I wish there was a way I could help and comfort your family in this great loss. If you would care to email me, my email address is aces7408203@yahoo.com. Again, I am very sorry for your loss and me and my family will be praying for your family. Take Care, and God Bless.
Sincerely,
