On September 21st 2007- the Minnetonka Community lost two beautiful girls to a horrific car accident, one of them was a very close friend of mine.
I don’t remember a lot from the time of the accident, and I don’t really want to. I just want to remember what amazing girls Kylie and Kelly were and continue to celebrate them 5 years after the tragedy of losing them.
Ky I will never forget your smile, your laugh, your generosity and your love. I think of you often and I miss you every day.
Kylie & Kelly Forever in our hearts

This week is always filled with so much anticipation of high school fun and memories! They were a tragic loss to our community and especially your class. Even though much good has come in their memory, their presence is greatly missed! Great photos Sydney .
I had Kelly in my health class in 10th grade. She would often be the last one out of class so she could tell a short personal story pertaining to the subject of the day. I remember her great positive energy, and was very sad when I heard about the accident. With so many students per year, I can only remember that small handful of students who made teaching fun…. and she was one of them.
Beautiful photos, Sydney! You’re lucky to have so many memories with your friend—hope you’re taking time you need to remember them today. Keep your chin up!
