To Kelly's family, I am a former SCS teacher and I worked with Kelly for several years. I'm terribly sad to hear about your tragic loss. Kelly was a committed teacher and a great colleague. My best memory of her is sharing an out-of-control belly laugh during a photocopier malfunction. I will cherish that memory. I hope it won't be too long before you can think of Kelly with a smile. I wish you strength. With deepest sympathy, Mary Brierley

Dear Andrew, Tyler and Quinn, I had the pleasure of meeting Kelly about a year ago on the phone, via Rick and Ava Green. I recall my first conversation with her was talking about the trials and tribulations of raising two boys!!! Mine are 3.5 and 18 months now, and I recall her talking about her boys, and what a wonderful experiences she has had with them growing up...we shared stories, and swapped secrets of getting through the days with young ones at home.... and then, I finally had the opportunity to meet with Kelly in person over the last few months- while working with her on her show idea. I am deeply saddened for your loss- only knowing kelly for a short while, I knew that she was indeed an incredible woman- with passion for the well being of young people.... She was vibrant, full of life, energy and an inspiration. I am truly blessed to have had the opportunity to be a short part of Kelly's life. May time and happy memories heal your hearts. With deepest sympathy, Cindy Hawryluk

My sincerest condolences for the loss of Kelly Pace. I was both honoured and privileged to meet her last summer while leading with her in curriculum writing at OPHEA. Her love of physical education, health and the development of her students was truly a quality I truly admired. I admired her leadership, her caring and her wonderful enthusiasm for learning and teaching. She will be sadly missed by all that knew her and am saddened by her loss. I want to send on my regards to her loved ones and let them know that there was not another angel like her on this earth! My deepest sympathies and sincerest condolences, Christine Bowden Literacy Partner/Grade 7 Teacher Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board Susanna Moodie Belleville ONtario

Andrew, all my thoughts and prayers are with you and your boys. There are no words I can offer to make this any easier but take some solace in the fact that you and Kelly have touched so many people as evidenced by the crowd at the ceremony and reception. All you can do right now is hang in there but please be sure to call if there is anything you need. Hope to see you soon once things settle down a bit for you. K.D.

I first met Kelly this fall at SCS. I feel so blessed to have had the pleasure of knowing her, even if for such a short time. Her passion, zest for life, and beauty shone so brightly. Her smile, warmth, and positivity were contagious. I send my warmest thoughts & well wishes to all those who loved her - and sincerely hope, in time, your loss can be warmed by the beauty, warmth & love she shared with all those she met.

It has been 20 years since we all graduated. Our grades collectively improved when Kelly was called upon to tutor, type essays, study/coach or teach us the finer details of the Kreb's Cycle or the principles of Laban's Movement Education Theory. Kelly lead many of us quietly, with an understanding smile and a wise twinkle in her eye. A wise old soul, Kelly had a rare combination of drive, determination and compassion. Many of us have lost touch with each other over the years. We followed our careers and dreams to different parts of the country, and have only now fully realised the missed opportunity, with the news of Kelly's sudden passing. It is with a heavy heart that I send my condolences to her family, friends, students and colleagues, all who were blessed daily by her presence in the their life, and will therefore be deeply affected by their loss. I know her spirit and memory will guide us all as we move forward in our own lives, more aware of the very precious people around us now and those of which we are due to reconnect with.

I remember Kelly as an incredibly kind and giving person who always had a beautiful smile and a kind word to say. She encouraged and nurtured her students and those she touched as she coached and guided her students at SCS. My heartfelt condolences to the much loved family who have lost her far too soon. May her shining light continue to guide all those whose lives she touched. With deepest sympathy, Laurie Aston and family

In 1988 I went to see the movie Beaches (AKA Friends Forever) with my best friend Kelly. We’d already been friends for almost 10 years, since we were both 11 years old. She cried her eyes out, and now it’s my turn. Kelly was, like the theme song from that movie, the wind beneath so many of our wings. She was quick to see the beauty and talent in others and reluctant to see it in herself. She nurtured and “hon”ed” so many of us through so much. Our friendship survived trips to Mexico, Ozzy Osborne concerts and high school where we got nicknamed Laverne and Shirley. It survived time and distance, disco, heavy metal, rock’n roll and all the hair styles that went with them. For over thirty years, Kelly was there for me, always. The last time I saw her, she got off a plane from a school trip and got on to another one for Ottawa so she can help me after neurosurgery. That is so very precious. I looked inside the wooden box she’d given me, my “Kelly box”, that holds some pictures she had sent over the years and I found few pictures of Kelly and mostly pictures of “Andrew and the boys”. I call these pictures the “Cuddle Bug” shots and these are the pictures of what meant the most to her. From the “Kelly box” in my living room, to the “Queen of Denial” card in my study, the Peace and Joy angel ornament in the spare room, the wedding picture in my hall and the diet plan tacked on my fridge, after 30 years, Kelly is in every room of my house and in the memories of each of the past 30 years. She is woven into my life and for that I am so very thankful. My co-Aquarian will be so sadly missed but so lovingly remembered. I know how much all of her family meant to her and my heart goes out to each of you for your tremendous loss.

Dear Andrew and Family, I do not believe we have ever met but you were a friend of my brother, Michael Bracht from Kilcoo. I always remember Michael talking to me about "Pacer" and Kelly and your growing family, as I believe we have children around the same age. It has been almost 5 years since we lost Michael so I believe I can truly say we understand your unbearable loss, shock and grief. There are absolutely no words to tell you how sorry we are. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Lindsay McKeown

Dear Andrew – I have very fond memories of Kelly from our early years together at St. Clements School – we essentially began our teaching careers at SCS at the same time – despite losing contact with one another over the years, primarily due to diverging family commitments & career paths, my husband, Rick, & I always shared a special memory, particularly at this time of the year, as we hung the apple ornament [from your wedding] on our Christmas tree each Holiday season – I was so saddened to hear of Kelly’s tragic accident – after reading all of the tributes & messages, she truly maintained her zest for life, dedication to her colleagues & students, love for her family & friends – in this regard, she will be greatly missed – our thoughts & prayers are with you & your sons, Tyler & Quinn, during this very sad time – Marianne & Rick Laidlaw [Uxbridge]

Dear Andrew, Tyler and Quinn It is sometimes hard in our hectic life to know how people touch us even in a brief encounter until tragedy strikes. Your mom was a person who smiled and had an energy that was wonderful and inspiring to many who knew her. She was a co-coach with me at East York Baseball and I remember her energy and ability to teach to this day. She was also an enthusiastic mom on our hockey team. Andrew Fuller, your teammate from the Ticats and our family feel so badly for you all. We want you to know Tyler that you, your dad and brother are in our thoughts and prayers. We often don't always think of the friends we leave behind when we move on in sports, or in life, but want you to know, you and your mother are not forgotten. God bless and keep your family, Tyler and Quinn and Andrew...your loss saddens and shocks us all. Sincerely, Andrew and the Fuller Family.

The fact that I was with Kelly minutes before her accident makes all of this so unbelievable. I am saddened by this terrible news and want Andrew, Tyler, Quinn and the rest of Kelly's family to know Kelly meant the world to me. She was an inspiration to so many - her family, friends, students, athletes and anyone who had the chance to be part of Kelly's life. I had the pleasure of getting together with Kelly every 5 to 8 weeks at our book club meetings. I love reading a book and discussing the book, but more importantly love the company, food and conversations we would have at our book club get togethers. Thank you, Kelly for contributing to my life. I am honoured to know you and will hold a special place in my heart just for you.

After travelling to Costa Rica with Ms. Pace, I realized what a wonderful person she was. She made the trip memorable, and always had a smile on. She greeted every task with enthusiasm and always encouraged us to do the same. I never had her as a teacher, but she always had a smile in the hallways. Her life ended tragically and I still can't accept that she will be not be with us in January. My sincere thoughts go to her family, especially her sons, who I know must be in utter shock. We all are. I'll always remember her. I will not be able to attend the funeral, as I am out of town, but I hope this message reaches the family and that they will be strong throughout this time of grief. My sincere regards, and she will not be forgotten.

My thoughts and prayers are with each of you during this trying time. Hope these words help you as they did me: "Life is hard. There is no way around that. It sometimes hands us things we don't really deserve, things we can't possibly understand. But despite how much our hearts are hurting we have to find a way to believe that sometimes we're not supposed to understand. We just need to accept the circumstances and lean on the people who love us most. Lean on others and let them take care of you; that's what friends and family are for. It's ok to feel sad and angry and confused. No one expects you to be invincible and no one expects you to handle this completely on your own. It's hard to imagine right now, that things will ever get back to normal. And they may never be exactly the same, but change is a huge part of life and of growth. It is accepting those changes that is not an easy task" Please believe that life will get better and as your friend, please know that I am here for you. Love Mary
