Dear Family & Friends of Kelsey,
I am truly sorry that this did not have a better outcome. Life deals us some hard blows sometimes and losing a family member is the worst. Please Please remember Kelsey with many positive thoughts. You know she would want that. It will take time and in time you will be able to look back on all the good times without crying and feeling sad. A smile will come with every thought of her and her beautiful 'life'

I, like every single person in this community, am truly sorry for the loss of Kelsey. I had never even met her, but I felt like I knew her after watching coverage about her on the news. The whole community and myself are going to wrap your family up in our arms and take care of you. My prayer is that your family finds peace through this incredibly difficult time. Kelsey is safe now, in the place that we all are striving to get to; heaven. What a beautiful angel you have watching over your family. God Bless you.

Dear,parents of kelsey smith
i am a girl that live in bonner springs kansas i am sorry about your daughter i wish i could help u on something today in class we talked about what happend to your daughter i thought of it and it made me sad i can't belive there is a person that will do something like that .... she is happy to be with god u will miss her and she will too.... hope this will make u feel better ...have a great day your friend shelly
I had feared that this would be the outcome, but I have to tell you that my first reaction was so much anger. I was on my lunch break at work and heard this on the tv.
I can't describe the rage that I had to suppress because I was at work. Maybe my rage comes from the fact that I have a daughter who turns 17 today, and she and your precious Kelsey are from the same moments in time.
My prayers do continue for all of your family. I wish for you the strength of faith. May the Lord bless you all.
My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family,
Evil may tear us apart physically and leave us feeling empty, but Kelseys spirit will live on forever within you.
God bless you.

No words can express the absolute sorrow I have in my heart for your family. I cry with you and continue to keep your family in my prayers. May God provide you the strength to somehow carry on.
With sincere sympathy...
Every year so many precious young girls are preyed upon. lets flood our leaders offices with emails calls and faxes that this is unacceptable. Losing on the avg. 350 young girls a year to deviant people is just needless. Lets protect our precious young women. May God bless all of the family and friends.
The loss of a child is the most difficult loss to survive as not only a family but each individual family member. Everyone grieves differently, at different rates, and with different actions and/or reactions.
One's entire life changes.
I know this because I have suffered this tragedy myself and its not easy, anyone that says it is - is lying to you.
But you DO get through it. You will be better, stronger people because of it.
You now know the true meaning of hatred, a feeling that some can only fatham but those that have lost a child to anything knows what true hatred is.
Please know in your hearts that there was nothing that could have been changed, nothing that could have been differently, nothing that any of you could have done to change what your family has survived in this past week.
I'm not a religious person (probably for obvious reasons) but I do know that I now have a vested interest in heaven. I have a jewel up there that I will claim once again one day.
And you have this too. It doesn't matter the what ifs, woulda's, coulda's or shoulda's that run through your mind, there is nothing that would have changed this for all of you.
During your grief cherish the special times that you had with your very beautiful daughter. You had 18 of the most wonderful years with her. 18 years that cannot be taken away from you no matter how ignorant the rest of the world is (referring to whomever did this to her).
May those memories carry you through each and every step in the grieving process.
My condolences to your entire family, and please know that you are NOT alone. You do not have to carry this burden by yourself. You do not have to hide your grief. Perhaps others in similar situations have provided you all with support and experience on how to survive the next steps, then the steps that follow that...Every day is hard and anyone that says it isn't has no clue what has truly been taken away from y'all.
But together, with the love that Kelsey shared with each and everyone of you, you will get through this, and you will learn to laugh again, and trust again, and live again.
i am so sorry to hear about Kelsey's death. My prayers go to her family and friends. Although i did not know her i still mourn. I do not see how some one would do that to some one. she was very pretty. God bless her family and friends.

Dear Family of Miss Kelsey Smith,
you are right--
God is your ever present help in time of trouble(and incredible sorrow such as you are experiencing).i have no clue how horrible this is to face, so i have asked Jesus to ask His Father to send the Holy Spirit to you today to put His arms around you, each one. He did this for me in a time of trauma, and He will do this for you. God is your fortress. i am so sorry for your unfathomable loss.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, I am deeply saddened by this tragedy. It is absolutely heartbreaking to hear the news of your loss...A parent should never have to bury their child. God be with you in this darkest hour.
"For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd;
he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." Revelation 7:17
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28
I'm praying for you.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Smith family and all of Kelsey's friends. Southern Cali is praying for you all. God Bless.
My prayers go out to you for your loss. I and my co-workers have been following this tragedy from the beginning. It hits home.... a lady I work with has a daughter that has been missing for 9 years.(Tabitha Brewer) Our hearts are breaking for you and everyone close to Kelsey.
God Bless you all !

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
(Matthew 6:33)
I am so sorry for your loss. I know how it feels to lose a family member all of a sudden. My father died in a car accident 15 years ago. This might be one of the hardest things in life. I can assure you that time will heal your wounds and your heart. I live in Florida and I did not know Kelsey but I have follwed her story from the beginning and my heart goes out to her family. I will keep the Smith family in my prayers. God bless you and may he guide you in this difficult time in your life.
I am very sorry for the loss of Kelsey. Even though I did not know her, I still prayed for her safe return home, even though, unfortunately, it did not happen, I am still praying for the family during their time of grieving. God bless and let's hope that we can get the awareness of things like this spread so that families don't ever have to go through what this family has.
God bless, you're in my prayers,
Brooke
I pray that you may find peace in this time of pain and heartbreak. Cherish the good memories, and know that your sweet girl smiles upon you from Heaven.
