What a beautiful angel!  / Nicole Beck (someone who cares )

I saw her video on facebook and am overwhelmed with sadness for this family and her father especially. I am so thankful for our soldiers- her father and for him to come home to this...unimaginable.  I am so very sorry- what a loss. I have lost a daughter but I cannot imagine a loss like this. She was absolutley beautiful. The only consolation is that she is safe in the arms of Jesus never to know pain again. Her father and family are in my prayers. God bless you all.

You will always be missed.  / Kylie Mann

Dear Kelsey and Family

I know how it feels to feel the type of pain you went through are going through and may have in the future. I may be only 15 years old but I know I feel the pain as anyone else would. I realize that all these letters must bring back some memories that you may not want to think about. But I just want to say that I love you all for the strength you you have. My family lost a presious two year old angel in 2007 to a birth defect. But one thing we all have to remember is that God sent them here for a very important reason and it may take time that feels like forever to realize that reason becasue at first you feel that God couldn't be more cruel. For him to take something so presious in your life when only two short years ago he gave her to you. But when I took the time to think why God has done something like this. I realized that she was a shepard from God and her purpose on Earth was to change peoples lives in ways that no one else can. She brought people closer together and helped a lot of us find trust in God. A man can go through a whole lifetime day by day and accomplish many things but never can a man accomplish nearly as much as what little Kelsey accomplished in two years. She may be gone in our presense. But never in our hearts.

You will allways be with us Kelsey.

What a Sweetie!  / Sherry Steinlage (Caring citizen )
What a sweet little girl! I just came to light on this terrible tragedy on facebook and have had Kelsey and her beloved family in my thoughts and prayers ever since. I am soooo heartbroke. Poor little pumpkin having to face that evil man on this earth. At least she knew she was loved by her family and her precious daddy! I really feel for all of you. She is at least safe and happy in the arms of God in Heaven : ) Close

I'm sorry Sweetheart  / Louise Blackman (None)

Just a note to say I was moved...  / Dottie Callan (No realtion )

Hello to the Briggs Family.  I know that it has been 4 years since Kelsey has been gone.  But a friend of mine had sent the video to me and I just wanted to tell you that I don't remember a time that I was so flooded with emotion.  I am still sobbing as I write this because I just can not imagine the terrible pain that all of you are going through without your baby.  Kelsey reminds me so much of my 2 year old Sophia and I just can't even put myself in your (the father's) place.  My heart just broke in a million pieces for you and I just want to let you know that I will be doing everything in my power to make sure that more people are aware of this horrble crime.  She was so beautiful and I know that she is up in heaven smiling down at her Daddy.  She will  see you in heaven and will forever have you to hold her..  I hope that the pain will go away and that are you and your family are at peace.  I will be thinking of you for a very long time and I will never take my time with my daughter for granted. Thank you for sharing your story with the world. 

 

Love

Dottie Callan

To the father  / Greg Curry (none)

Dear Kelsey's dad

I sit here now writing to you all choked up.  I am a full time firefighter and a member of a Federal SWAT team.  I have been lucky in my career to train with men and women who have gone or will be going to take a watch on the wall to keep my family safe.  It is so hard for me to convey my deepest sympathy to you sir.  I realize words can not do it justice or bring you the comfort that only having your daughter back.

As a father of two kids one a daughter who will be turning 9 this year.  I can not imagine how it must be to have your heart ripped from you as it would for me if anything happened to my daughter.  Please know this that you and your daughter will always be in our prayers. 

If you are ever in the Chicago area and need anything give me a hollar.

Thank you for your service to this country and for protecting my family.  I wish I could have been there to protect yours.

 

I hope the two responsible for this rot in hell and are abused in every possible way while they stay in prision. 

Be safe

 

Greg

my deepest condolences  / Katherine (None)
I have recently become aware of the this truly heartbreaking story from FaceBook.

How a mother could do that to her own child is beyond me.

No child should ever have to go through what poor Kelsey had to go through - her memory will live on forever.

Let us all stand up against child abuse.

Rest in Peace Kelsey. Close

God Bless you all  / Maureen Wood (none)
I have just watched Kelsey's video on facebook and was crying by the time it had finished. I will never be able to understand how anyone can hurt a child in todays society of awareness. Yet some children do still fall through the net and it just should not happen.
To Kelsey's daddy I would like to say I am so so sorry for your loss because your little girl was beautifull and it was so obvious that she was a proper daddies little girl. I hope and Pray that you keep strong and may God Bless You and protect you from any further pain.
I know how hard it is to lose a child as I lost a son to SIDS but can never imagine losing one of my children in the way that you did.
Take Care
God Bless

To the sweet Angels family  / Kim Bell
I've watched the different vidoes about Kelsey and i've wept everytime. I cannot wrap my head around the idea that a human being could be so cruel to a beautiful innocent little girl. it just blows me away. I am so sorry for your loss....for the worlds loss of Kelsey. She is making a difference with her death and for that I thank you. When something so devistating as this happened to your family you could have desided not to share your story or fight for the cause but you've made a powerful and amazing decision. Thank you Close

So Sorry  / Stacie DeSorbo (None)

I just watched a video on Facebook that a friend sent to me. The video was very sad. I am so sorry for your loss. I could never imagine losing a child. She was innocent in the whole situation and I can't believe that the mother did not see any signs or even any of the abuse. AND what really irks me is that she went ahead and married the bastard(excuse my french) My deepiest sympathy goes out to you your family and most of all your son. Who was fighting for our freedom in Iraq and could do nothing to help. Rest In Peace baby girl the angels have you now.

 

 

Sincerely

Stacie A. DeSorbo
