Kelli was an employee of our firm for just over 4 years and died suddenly and unexpectedly on August 3, 2009. Kelli was a valuable employee and a real asset to our firm, our clients and our customers. She was always on top of the maintenance needs of our properties and could always be counted on to perform her duties with the utmost of care and professionalism. Kelli loved that she was able to share our office with her sister Melanie for her time with us. Most of all Kelli was a friend to us and to all who knew her. She was known for her quick wit, her larger than life smile & laughs and her love of NASCAR! Kelli is greatly missed each day.
