Kari, Thinking of you and wishing the pain away. For the moment that I got to know "your little man" I knew that he was special to you. You will always be a mom.

Kari, RJ just called and told me of this sad news. I have no idea what to say other than I am here for you, as I always have been, even though we have lost touch in recent years. May God give you and your family the strength to get through this difficult time. Much love, Matthew J

Kelley family - My prayers are with you during this difficult time. I was Taylor's teacher at LaSalle last year and remember meeting little Devlin at Taylor's conference. He was a sweet, happy baby. I know Taylor loved her little brother. Stay strong...

Kari and LA: I am so sorry I didn't make it tonight. Tanner had a medical issue this afternoon and I didn't feel I could leave him. Devlin was an incredibly strong, resilient and special little guy. He got those character traits from both of you. I have the utmost respect and admiration for the poise you both have shown through this long and difficult journey. Devlin touched so many lives and you both have touched my heart. I am a better person and practioner because of the experiences we shared. I will call you soon. Kelly

I dont have many memories to share about little devlin. But i do remeber sitting on the couch while he was in my arms. I almost wanted to do something about his sickness. But knowing i couldnt i just had to sit back and watch him go through with what he did. Its so hard to think about everything he could of done. All the things he's going to miss. the holidays, birthdays, christmas. I never got to sit down and get to know him like i wished to, but i know he's in a better place now. To the parents & taylor Kelley, im sorry i cant imagine what you are going through right now. I cant even imagine. I'm terribly sorry. -Mariah S. age 13.

I didn't get to know Devlin as much as I would've liked to, but I got to hold him once at Easter and I thought he was a very nice baby boy. I felt so sad that he was so sick and wish that he could've gotten better. I wish that I could've gotten to know him better and my thoughts are with everyone else who knew him. It is so sad that he had to leave us all so soon. I hope to see him again when I leave this earth. I miss you, Devlin.

I may not have been his "real" grandma, but he was the grandson of my heart...just like his Mama is the daughter of my heart. My heart is ripped apart for you two. We would have all appreciated much more time with Devlin. Love you all! Mamajo/G'ma Jo

God Kari I am so sorry. I cannot find the words to express how truly sorry I am. I just found out about sweet Devlin passing and am bawling my eyes out. To think he was so close to my Lucas' age and as difficult as it has been, it breaks my heart to see this sweet baby have to suffer for his short time with us. Sometimes you wonder what in the world God is trying to teach us from all this terrible loss. It has been over a year since my mom passed at the age of 43 and it still bears heavy on my heart every day. If you ever need to talk please call 319-217-8632. Love, Jess
