Kellie may or may not realize that she lights up a room as an attention getter when she enters. Her smile, personality, grace and independence shows through immediately. She reflects fun, humor, knowledge of almost anything you would interest you. Her successes and life reflect her goals in life whether it be professional or personal. She is mastering the experience of single parenting and has shown others how strong she is. I do miss her appearance on local television. I have a close friend that I’ve known for over 30 years who retired from a local television station, whom I’m best friends with her husband. We rarely discuss careers, but as a retired divorced male they continue to search for a woman that our personalities would be compatible. Kellie would be very high on my list.
