Kelsey's Angel Garden


March 10th, the day I started this website, my first post, little did I know what that day would bring for the Caswell family. Roger Caswell, a close friend of our family, lost one of the two bright lights of his life. He had been blessed with twins, Kasey and Kelsey, who were a few short days from turning 8 1/2 years old. While Roger drove his mom home, the girls were driven home by their mother when she lost control of the vehicle and slid into a utility pole. Kelsey was in the front seat and didn't survive the accident. Kasey suffered some injuries which she recovered from. Kasey and her dad wanted to plant an angel garden in Kelsey's memory. April 26th, family and friends gathered together at Roger and Kasey's house to plant the flowers and arrange the angel statues that had been given at the time of the funeral. Kasey, Michaella, Brandon, Mary (Ruth and Roger's mom and my sorta adopted mom) and I put together some stepping stones to put in the garden with things that reminded us of Kelsey and things she loved. The garden turned out beautiful, no matter where you look, you see an angel. Afterwards, we all wrote notes to Kelsey and tied them to balloons which Roger and Kasey released. We love you Kelsey and miss you!
