Keri Ann Paraday

Dear Jesse, Dallas, Noah & Randy. I am so sorry for your loss. I was able to reunite with Keri on Facebook, what a concept. I loved our chats she expressed so much love for her family. Jesse, she told me so many times how much she loved you and the boys, she was so proud of you. Randy, I have so many great memories of you & Keri with your super loud stereo in "Poney Acres" She will be looking down upon you sending her love every day, with her arms around her Mom. My thoughts and prayers are with you!! Keri, I love you!! Paula Stewart (Jen & Teena's Mom)

I find it so very hard to believe that you have gone and we must grieve. Everything seems so strange and surreal, we ask everyday is it a dream or real? We look at your smiling face in old photos, memories flood our mind as we touch the mementos, from the happy times we had in the past, but now these bring tears and make us sad. For the time together went by in a wink, life was not as long as we'd like to think. Sometimes memories bring comfort and make us smile, but there are times when grief takes over for a while. Friends offer gentle words and prayers to console, and tell me what has happened to your loving soul? Can it be true what they say of time healing grief? Is it enough when they say death has given you relief? What of the loving light that you have shone? We all knew the wonderful person you were, and only serves to remind me of the painful loss we endure. But I know your kind soul wants no tears or pain, instead you'd want warm memories and love to remain. I promise not to forget the loving memories you gave, but we will miss you Keri. We all love you and want you to know that were here if you need us.

Keri, U are one of my best friends, knowing you for so long, and being part of your family makes this so hard. I couldnt believe what I was hearing when Dallas told me what happened. I dont even know how to grieve, you and I had so much fun together, through it all we were inseperable. I miss you so much right now, I just dont know what to do. Jesse, Dallas, and Noah. I am so very sorry for what you are going through. I dont know what to say to make it easier because it is not easy. I love you all and miss Keri SOOOOOO much. I am here if you need me.

To My friend Keri's family! I was friends with your sweet mother/wife when I was a small girl. We grew apart over the years. I was able to reconect with her breifly on facebook and I am so greatful for that. My heart is in pain as i think about the wonderful family that she left behind, I hope you will find some comfort in knowing that she is always right there in your heart! May God bless you all in the very difficult time!

Jesse, Dallas & Noah, Sorry doesn't seem like enough to say, but we are just devestated to just hear of this news. As life is so busy this makes us realize we need to make time for our friends...I had not chatted with Keri since Sept.16 and I regret that now. She holds a special place in my heart, when we were all stationed together...we were family and had great times together. I feel very fortunate to have kept touch with her over the years....we are so sorry for your loss..she will be sadly missed!

Mom, I'm thinking about you right now, and I miss you more than ever. You're on my mind constantly and everything I see, touch, or do reminds me of you and the dorky things we used to do together. You're the most beautiful, caring, loving mother anyone could ever have. I would give anything in the entire world to have you back in my world, just to see you one last time. I get scared everyday thinking I don't have you to come to, and I hope that you're in a much better place. You are amazing and always will be. You cared for everyone, and I want you to know that I will live my life in your honor forever. Satisfaction to me would be to even have nearly as much dignity and strength you do. I love you, more than the whole wide work. *stretches arms apart* "this much!"
