I can’t believe it’s true…it’s like a bad dream I can’t wake up from…knowing you thru your older sister Kaley and her husband Alan was a gift to me. I guess in the end I’m glad that you’re with your Mom & Dad now, keeping them company in Heaven, watch over your sisters and brothers…and your beautiful son from up there….keep them safe, comfort them during this hard time and shine a beautiful light down from heaven for them tonight to let them know you’re there, watching and waiting patiently for them. Love you girl and so very sad you’re gone…. Much love to the family whom I love dearly…. Steph & Marty Windsor, Ontario

Every February for more than a half decade, I’ve always cherished and will continue because I met the most beautiful, inspiring, head strong girl I’ve ever came across. Remember when the sun would sun shine, warm and light our faces in the morning before school and we had no answer but only curiosity to know why it feels so good to sneeze. lol Laughing with you hon will be the best memory of my life. You will brighting my dullest, sad grey skies forever. But now it’s time to let you go,so i’ll see you soon Kelsey MacIntyre. Pain was the price you daily had to pay, but no more hon.. your spirit now is free. Even though you won’t really be gone in my head, my memories and in my dreams, you’ll always live inside of me. That laugh of yours will never be deleted, i’m smiling even right now from your last visit. How you suddenly bust out the bride of chuckie laugh that I love. I’ll now only hear it when I dream. So come and see me whenever you want, because I know you’ll be around. You just look over your son, siblings and your nieces and nephews to come. Sit back, crash a feather pillow, snuggle a silk sheet and catch up with mum and dad. Thank you Kelsey, for giving me so many wicked memories, the best years of my life, being my back bone when I reached your hand and teaching me that there’s more to life than my life, like you once said. wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine and spread it to bring another smile” – Kelsey MacIntyre So when we have to leave you at your resting place, I will always retain in memory your smiling, beautiful face. This is hardly a goodbye sweetheart,so I’ll try not to weep anymore, because now you’re in a better place then you ever were before.

I became very close, best of friends with Kelsey’s sister Kaley many many years ago while Kaley lived in Windsor. That is how I came to know Jenna, Corey, Chandler & Kelsey-of course she became like a little sister to me as well. One of my first memories of Kelsey was a Christmas visit in Windsor- she couldnt have been more than 14 or 15 at the time. A special present was given to her, it appeared a young child had wrapped it however when it was opened it was one of those laterns that you see displayed at campgrounds with different coloured pegs in the holes (like Light Bright pegs) I’ll never forget how long and how loud everyone laughed when she opened it. Although Kelsey and I never lived in the same city we talked often through the internet and I would see her whenever we went to visit Kaley. Kaley and I often spoke about her along with her other siblings during our phone conversations. When Hayden was born, Kelsey and I spoke about the joys of having a little one and when my daughter was born, we often shared similar laughs about how funny they can be. My memory will always stay with that beautiful young teenager, talking about her life and what she wants from it when she gets older. Kelsey, you are your baby’s angel now and you must guide him and keep him safe always. My heart is breaking for yet another tragedy in your family – Kaley & Jenna (and Corey & Chandler) my words are just that, and I know they wont heal you, but I love you all and I am deeply saddened that you must go through this. I know you are strong and being with each other will guide you through this. Love Always, Clarissa, Clint & Coralaina

Dear Kelsey My fondest memory is when u were just a young little girl and we spent March break in Florida with your mum and dad and all of u ………… U were the sweetest, cutest funniest and happiest little darling in your pink bikini and your pink baseball cap that u wore backwards; we really enjoyed our time with you. We feel so sad that we didn’t really keep in touch with you and spend more time with you. I remember seeing you at marks wedding and asking you if you remembered that time in Florida at your parents condo ? and you said you didn’t remember ,and I told you that I still remember as it was such a nice time and we’ve never forgotten it; you sure had a special place in our hearts right away. Rest in peace with your mum and dad Our sincerest sympathies to Kaley,Corey, Jenna and Chandler We pray that the good Lord will help them cope with the loss of their sister sincerely Maria and Claude Fortier North bay .

I don’t even know where to begin. I can tell you that the day I met Kelsey she stole my heart. She was no more than 3 years old, and I was roughly 14. She was at the grocery store with Jan. My Dad was talking to Jan, and I couldn’t get over how beautiful she was, little did I know that the beautiful little girl in the grocery cart would become such an important part and person in my life. I started having interactions with Kelsey when she was at my cousin Melissa’s house. Melissa and Kelsey were like 2 peas in a pod, and Toni made the third. I’m not exactly sure why, but for some reason I was the “adult” the girls let into their lives. Their real lives, you know the life that’s different from what your parents know, they let me into theirs. I am so thankful that they did. They were the funniest and cutest girls EVER! They would tell me stories, act things out, draw me pictures, sing, dance… they were my entertainment. There was just something about Kelsey though… I always had a very soft spot for her. One of my all time favorite memories of Kelsey is of when I took Kelsey and Melissa to Toronto to see N’Sync for their 13 birthdays. We stayed in the hotel that’s in the SkyDome. The day of the concert we ate at the restaurant in the hotel. While we were having lunch you could hear the band practicing, but no singing. The girls were beyond excited and couldn’t hardly contain their happiness until Justin Timberlake starts singing. I have never seen anything like it, the purest emotion you could ever experience in your life… the look on Kelsey’s face was priceless. She was so over-joyed she couldn’t hold back the tears, and you couldn’t help but feel the same way because her reaction was just that powerful. She just looked at me, her face was glowing with happiness and the tears were just streaming down her little cheeks and she asked, “Is that Justin Timberlake?” I said yes, she got out of her chair, came over to me, crying, climbed on my lap and started hugging me and thanking me for bringing her there. She called Corey after that to tell him all about it. She was such a loving person. When she was happy she wanted to share her happiness with everyone she loved. I have so many Kelsey stories but that one has always touched my heart. One of the pictures I have shared is the one I attached to the story and it sums up my relationship throughtout the many years with Kelsey… cheekiness and love. I was having a bad day, she knew how to make me smile. She was having a bad day, I knew how to make her smile. There are few things in my home that I can look at that don’t have a Kelsey and Melissa, or Kelsey memory attached to it. Kelsey was very important and special to me for many reasons. I don’t think she realized just how special she was to me, and how much I treasure her. She was my princess, my little shiny star. She taught me so much without even knowing it. She really was a gift from God. And now she’s back with her parents who she so dearly loved and terribly missed. She has deeply impacted my life, and changed it forever. I am so grateful and blessed to have known and been loved by such a beautiful person. My little Babaganoush

You were always a nice girl.You will be missed so much. Im really sad that your gone you could light up a room with your smile.

I remember spending alot of time with Kelsey when we were younger and would play up at the house on Hillcrest when my mom would come for tea time with Jan. I would have to say that i cant remember a time when we werent up to something, wether it was sneaking onto the raptors basketball court, and even one time we managed to lock ourselves in a car trunk, chandler knows all about that haha I had alot of great times with kelsey and she was always upbeat and smiling. My deepest sympathies , to Kaylee ,Corey, Jenna, and Chandler, and were here if ya need us.. Daniel J Pegg

Your inspirational attitude and look on life will not be forgotten as you were an Angel in so many ways, to so many people. Love you Kelsey -Bryan
