Savannah Kelsey Obituary

Savannah Noel Kelsey, beloved daughter of Kevin and Natalie Kelsey of Falcon, unexpectedly went to be with Jesus on November 8, 2005, due to a congenital defect. Savannah was born August 28, 1999 at Penrose Hospital. Besides her parents, she is survived by her adoring brother, Jaiden; her grandma Red of Crestline, CA; her grandma and grandpa Smith of Colorado Springs; two great-grandmothers; and many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins. She shared a special bond with her brother and they were best friends. Savannah loved to laugh, dance, sing, create with her hands, play with her brother, and enjoy God's beautiful creation, but most of all she loved Jesus. A celebration of her life was held November 11 at Mountain Springs Church. A grave side service will be held Tuesday, November 15, 11:00 a.m., at Evergreen Cemetery.

Dear Natalie and Kevin,

The first time I met Savannah she was at Squirrel Creek to ride Cheyenne. She had her little helmet on, and sometimes wore cute, little sunglasses. Of coursse, you, Natalie, had Jaden in a backpack on your back. Sometimes the weather was very nasty, but, the ride continued. After you had your accident on Jack, I came to your home to make sure you were o.k. You and Savannah were baking ginger cookies, Jaden was with Kevin, and I had an opportunity to see your home. I believe it had an ocean, sea design. Anyway, Savannah was twirling in the living room and was her shy, but curious and polite self. I remember when Kevin brought both of the children to the ranch to watch you ride. It was bitter cold, but that gave me the opportunity to meet Kevin. He was a joy to meet. Anyway, there are more precious memories I have of Savannah. I have kept you in my prayers since I first heard the news. I can not imagine your feelings and heartbreak. If there is anything I can do, anything at all, I am here to help or listen. I miss you Natalie. May peace, love, and understanding dwell in your hearts. With all my love, Libby

Amy & I wept as we read the e-mail that Darrell sent us regarding Savannah and again as we read your father's memorial speech. I know that you miss your little girl. May the God of all comfort wrap his arms around you and give you strength during this time.

Dear Kevin and Natalie,

Our hearts break with yours. We hope you feel our arms and our prayers encircling you with love. We know it's true that all of us on earth, young or old, near or distant, have only a short time to spend with each other, sometimes too short. But we also know that God will let us spend eternity with Him and our loved ones when we trust in Him. May you remember your times with Savannah with fondness, and may you look forward to your time with her again by keeping your eyes on Jesus. May He help you through this difficult time. We love you!

Dear Kevin & Natalie, We grieve with you. This loss is overwhelming and hard. I can't stop thinking this is not the way it is supposed to be. We can only trust now and cry at what is truly incongruent and incomprehensible. My faith holds me to a promise that He prepares a place for us and we will all be together around Him who has all the answers to our questions. Hold to this for He is truly worthy! We love you.

Dear Natalie and Kevin,

We are friends of Dirk and Tammy Isaacs. They have shared with us your loss and are e-mailing your updates to us so that we can be praying effectively for you. They showed us Savannah's photo and I just saw the photo on this web site. She is a beautiful girl! and her personality sounds even sweeter. My prayer is that God will provide everything you need and more and that your memories of Savannah are never forgotten and always charished.

Dear Kevin and Natalie and family,

We just want you to know we are praying for you and are so sorry for this horrible loss. We have such fond memories of our times together when Savannah was a baby and will hold those visions of her in our minds (the toothless little grin and her wispy hair in a pigtail on top of her sweet head ) May God carry you each day and give you hope and peace despite the incredible sadness.

Love, John and Amanda and family

Dear Kevin, Natalie, and family,

I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I have a 6 year old son and can not fathom the grief you must be feeling. Our family also lost a loved one recently, Novemer 6th, and a good friend of the family told us "God has a plan, God makes no mistakes". I know it is hard to imagine God's plan in your instance but you have to beleive in it. Your daughter was beautiful in life and she is now a beautiful angel in heaven.

Natalie, Kevin, Jaiden, Lucy, Craig, Shelly, Darrell & Family:

There are so many broken hearts across Colorado since we heard about Savannah. We will miss Savannah's beauty, love, joy, exuberance for life and her very unique way of making the world a truly wonderful place. Although our time with her was short, she added so much to the lives that she touched. Please know that you are in our thoughts, in our prayers and in our hearts. I know that God is with you, he is holding you and he will help to mend your broken hearts with time. I know that Savannah is with God, and because God is always with you, Savannah will always be with you as well. We love you and our hearts are with you.

Dear Sweet Kelsey Family,

My heart aches at the thought of your loss, even though Savannah has gained entrance to Jesus' presence and is in a far better place.

Our daughter Kelly still has the bookmark Savannah made for her. It reminds us to pray for you. Kelly remembers playing with Savannah. We will remember her and you.
