KELLI MARIE LAKEMAN July 22, 1973 March 22, 1991Nine years ago today there were nine teens driving east on the interstate, oblivious to the world. You were enjoying your music, the first day of spring, and within a few short hours, springbreak would begin. With a fateful gust of wind the vehicle threw nine lives into a human turmoil. You were the only one who was to die. Our lives have continued yet with a permanent void, you, our precious Kelli girl. Dennis Jr. has a little brother now, Dylan. Would you have blessed us with grandchildren as well? Would you be teaching elementary school as had been your plan? Are you remembered by the other eight whose lives were spared with your death? Do they feel blessed to have known you? Your laughter can still be heard. Your gentle spirit guides us through yet another anniversary of your untimely death. Can you hear us say hello because we were unable to say good-bye? We miss you and love you, our precious Kelli Marie.Your Family Forever
