I found you, smiling down at me

It has been almost a year since you were taken away. I still cannot believe it has been that long, seems like yesterday when I first heard you did not come home. That first day I thought that maybe you were just out blowing off steam. The second morning when no one had heard from you, I knew something was wrong. I sat hear that weekend with the sickest feeling deep down in my stomach. I called everyone I knew to tell them to look for your car or you. I cried more that weekend than I have any other weekend in my life. I kept calling your phone praying to hear you say hello. I went everywhere and talked to people I had never seen with the hope they had seen you. As the hours turned to days, days turned into weeks, weeks into months and now months into a year. I wake up everyday hoping it was all a bad dream. I finally know that my life has to move forward and I have to keep living even if it is without you. It took me a long time to accept that you were not going to walk through my front door. I knew that from the beginning, but there was always that hope. Friends have come and gone like the seasons. Things have changed in so many ways, some for the best. Some, I would do anything to get back to the way they were. I sit and I stare out over the treetops with the sky turning so gray, I miss you sitting next to me. I want you back talking on the phone, yelling at me because I forgot Kiegan's jacket or just talking about what to do tomorrow. Nevertheless, I could give you a million and one reason’s you need to be hear, two big ones at the top! Waking up every morning, I think of you, wondering if you can hear me when I talk to you. Do you know how much you are missed? Do you know how much you were loved? Do you know how much you were counted on? I think about these things the most. I know that life will go on but life sucks without you in it! If you can hear me, I just want you to know that everything I am doing and will do in life is because of you. You are the reason that I have finally realized no one can make my dreams come true but me! I just hope you are with me every new step I take. You were the one that always believed in me and would never let anyone get in our way. Now, it is my turn, I will not let anyone or anything get in the way. Kelly, it may have taken me almost a year to finally get out of bed and look out over the treetops. What do you think I found? You, smiling down at me, that is when I new what to do and who to do it for! Kelly, I miss you more with each passing day. I would have never thought your heart could really hurt, but when I think about you and you not walking through my door my heart does hurts. It hurts now just as much as it did a year ago. I do not know when it will stop or if it ever will. One thing I do know. You have touched too many lives with your smile to be forgotten. Missed more than ever thought possible!

The Perfect Girl Friend? I am one of the Lucky Ones Because I had you

As a sit here late at night, with nobody to talk too. My mind always turns to you. Who am I kidding when does my mind not turn to you? No one can understand, I take that back, there is someone out there that understands. I finally got what direction you kept pointing me in and I am so sorry that I was not strong enough to see that before, I do now. And with me and her together we will always keep your spirit alive. We sit and talk about times that we really did forget about. You know what Girl we have been together alot more than me and you ever realized. But I like to smile when I remember something else that us three did in High School. I just wish I had alot more memories, there was so much that we were going to do and so much that we didn't even have to plan. Everyday with you is a memory, in one way or another. Kelly you were the one friend that I had that I knew was going to be my friend through out life. We were alike in so many ways, and different that we balanced each other out just right. If they put us together you would have the perfect friend. That is something that people go there whole life looking for the Perfect Friend. Think about, when you are little you just want the girl who will come and play but not take your toys. Then you discover the root of evil, Boys. At that point you just want a girl that is going to tell you what he said on the playground. Next, Middle School if you ask me that is when you discover that you cannot trust many girls and everyone is talking about you even if they say they are a friend. High School the true test if you can go all through High School with one girl that started and finished with you and still calls you friend not acquaintance, then consider your self one of the lucky. Being an adult with responsibilities can change alot people because everyone has a different set of these responsibilities. Weather it be school and all the parties, or getting married and having kids, or just getting a job a real job. Everyone goes there own path. If you can sit and think of one person that you are friends with now that has been there for every new step that life has led you since you have gotten out of school keep a hold of them they know to much to let go of now! At least that is what I feel that you go through, you are always looking for that perfect girl friend. If you found her way back then or even if you found her now I will tell you never let her go one day without telling her how much you need her. You never know when this world is going to say you have had her to long and decides that she belongs to the man up stairs. If I just had one more day with you there is so much more I would tell you. I sit and think about the times that I would bitch about you. (I know I drove you nuts too) Instead I should have told you how nice it was to have you in my life, how much my life changed for the better since you walked back into it. I just knew that you were going to be with me for the rest of the big milestones; first broken heart, first real dates, homecomings, proms, our kido's pulling out of the driveway for the first time without us, watching are watches all night until they pulled back in safe, graduation, having to finally let them go (even if we tried to keep them forever) We were suppose to be the young grandmas because we were going to be young enough to still live life when we did let go. I know you sent me too her. I know in my heart of hearts you know that in this time in my life and I guess for the rest of my life, that I need her and she needs me. Because together, besides seeing those two beautiful smiles that look just like you, is when I feel the closest too you. I will NEVER find another you because you are irreplaceable! You were my one Perfect Girl Friend, never to be replaced, never to be forgotten. You need to remember one thing Kelly, not only do you have me that you get the tittle of the the Perfect Girl Friend from because you are among the handful that has also had the one Perfect Girl Friend from way back when all we had to worry about was her not taking our toys. So not one but two lives that you blessed. With the one thing in the world that very few have that are true and that is, Friendship. You may be gone but I hope you know you will never be forgotten, you are the bond that know holds my next journey with an old friend I will not say together, but I will say, our bond together is you. With us walking through this world without you, is a much sadder world, but together we make it a little bit brighter. I just hope some day we can actually wake up and understand. I just hope some day we actually wake up and finally have the closure that we so desperately need. I just hope some day we actually wake up and finally feel you are at peace. I just hope that day comes girl, because you have two girls down here that everyday we wake up lost in this world without you. Missing you, your true Girl Friends You may be gone but never forgotten!!!!!!!

It does not get any easier!

Everyone I meet or see tell me the same thing it will get easier. I would just like to scream at the top of my lungs and say when!! When will I wake up and you not be the first thing on my mind. When will I drive down the road and something not remind me of something we did or said. When will I be able to use my hair straightener without crying because it reminds me of you. So to me I feel it will never get easier. Waking up and wanting to call you and tell you the fit that Kolt through last night or ask what are plans were for the day. You were the one friend I had that was my friend because of me. I knew no matter what I did or said that you were going to love me tomorrow even though you may not have agreed with it. You would laugh your ass off when it blew up in my face. But, I knew you would always be there to pick me up. You made me a better person just by being there. I like to think that I made you a better person too. I would just like to say that I am sorry there were so many people that did not get to see that change in you the way I did. I know that I will never find a friend like you again. One that has my back even when I am not around. So for that I would like to apologize to you for not being a better friend and voice my opinion more on your situation. Kelly nothing I say or do will bring you back to us. I hope you know that I would do anything to go back to May 25 and make you go with me to the school. But knowing now what we do it would have happened anyways but that would have given me one more day to see that beautiful smile and that wonderful laugh. That is what I miss the most. I know that you are with me everyday in spirit and I need you to give me the strength to take one step forward and not two back. Just remember that you were loved by so many, I just wish you knew that before. So to those who say it will get easier, I say to you. You did not know the same person that I knew the one that was excited about really getting to be a mom, Loved her family unconditionally no matter what, and the girl that dreamed of a loving husband with the white picket fence and the kids playing in the yard. And she promised me that I would not have to wear a ugly bridesmaid dress because she Loved me that much. I just wish everyone could have gotten to know the true Kelly Jo Elliott not the one she portrayed. For the longest time I thought she was this tough girl that didn't let anyone or anything get to her. But, I could never have been so wrong. The girl that everyone knew as the girl with the beautiful voice was also a beautiful person who cried when someone said something hurtful, or worried when someone she loved was sick or hurt. All she ever wanted to do is to make people proud of her and love her for who she was not who they thought she should be. Kelly I hope that you know that I would not change a thing about you baby girl I loved you for who you were and who you could have been if you would have been given the chance. So to those people that say it will get easier if you ever in your life time have someone with so many wonderful qualities taken away for no reason(and you can not give me a good one) and at such precious time in her life and it has gotten easier please tell me how you did it because I don't know how to because everything I do reminds me of her. Missing You Kelly Jo!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL!!

It is officially your 29th Birthday. You always said that you never wanted to see 30 but we just never really wanted to be old. Just remember that I still have two more to go HA! HA! You always hated me for that. I can remember your birthday last year like it was yesterday. I can even remember what you were doing when I called to tell you that you were one more year closer to that big 30!! I just wish that you were hear for me to rub it in some more. But, Baby Girl you are getting the best birthday present you can in this situation. He is finally going to pay for taking you away from all of us that love you!!! I just want to know when is it going to get easier waking up everyday without you? I miss you bitching at me for calling while you watched Rachel Ray (you never even got to see the talk show awesome by the way), or when you watched them Golden Girls I always thought that was going to be us. Just because we were to mean to live with anyone but each other. NOBODY else understood that honesty was our friendship.Who else would I be able to tell that your butt looks fat in those jeans or that I have no chest and we would just laugh. I just don't know how to go on without you or the boys. Everytime I look at them I see you, even more now than before. I don't know if I am doing the right thing with them either. I want to reach out to your family more than anything but Every time I do it just seems to backfire. I have nothing but good intentions but you know me always screw it up and I don't have you telling me to stop or what step to take next. Kelly Jo you may never reach that big 30 but you will be with me when I do and all the other milestones that I take in my life and the life of your family. HAPPY 29TH BIRTHDAY KELLY!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!

Finally She is Coming Home

After almost six very long months of wondering where, why and how Kelly is coming home. Even though her spirit has been with all that she loved since May 26 her body will now be with us as well. I would just like to say Thank You to everybody that has kept Kelly and her family in thier prayers all this time. Kelly you are finally going to get the justice that you deserve, and that we all need. Rest in Peace now my friend, everyone will know the TRUTH!!!

HAS EVERYONE FORGOT, BUT ME?

HAS EVERYONE FORGOT I am in disbelieve that everyone has forgotten a mother , daughter, sister, and my best friend. There is not an hour that goes by that something does not remind me of my friend. I just do not understand how the cops have not released any new information in so long. Makes me wonder are they still working as hard as I believe that they should be or am I the only one that believes Kelly is just going to be another forgotten soul. But, she will never be forgotten by those who truly love her. I believe to be able to move on though we need answers!! Answers that nobody seems to care about. I have been told she is not coming home and it is time to move on. I would just like to know how do you do that? I know that I can't, I have tried. It is no easier today than it was FIVE MONTHS ago when she first came up missing. It only seems to be harder with each passing day. Kelly I miss you and would do anything to have that final day back. There are SO many things I would have changed and so many things I would have said. I just want my life back before May 25 when it all came to a screeching halt. I know that can never happen, but I can dream!!! I just wish there was something or somebody that could bring this to an end. We all know that there is someone out there that can bring a close to all of this. And to that person, how do you live with yourself everyday. When you wake up every morning and look in the mirror I hope you think of her and how she can no longer wake up and hug her kids. I hope when you look in that mirror she is starring back at you. She will haunt you forever till you come forward with the truth to put her soul to rest, and yours as well. How can you be apart of the death of a mother, daughter, sister, and friend and live everyday to cover for a man that can disregard her what makes you think he would not do the same to you one day!!!

Out of Respect!

I am just letting everyone know, that you will not be seeing me in the news or the papers no more. I have been asked out of respect for the family to please leave things alone. I am going to respect their wishes, because of the two precious little boys that my best friend Kelly left behind. There has been people saying that I am doing more harm than good. I do not wish to upset or disrespect her family or boys in anyway. There is alot of speculation to the article in the news paper. I would just like to apologize to anyone that was hurt by that article. The MAN that wrote the article, took our words and put them into his own. Anyone that knows me knows that I would NEVER do anything to hurt her family or those boys in anyway. I just wish that I could be forgiven for words that where took out of context. I really just miss her family and boys. They are all I have left of her. So inclose I would just like to apologize from the bottom of my heart, I really meant no harm. Please forgive, I just miss her so much I just don't know how to live life without her.

My take in all of This

For one thing you don't even have your facts right. We did NOT file the missing person report her family DID! It was the cops fault it took five days for it to come to the publics eyes.(Not really the cops Gene's Because of the original story Gene gave) Which was that they got into a fight in the Windmill Lounge and she took off in her car in a rage.(So at first we were concered she may have wrecked) That was not true and has since been proven not true. When it came to him being confronted with them not being in the Windmill, it changed to them getting in a minor argument at her parents home. That is also proven not true, because her parents where there at the time that they were loading his truck to take her children on a camping trip. Then they left in separate vehicles but at the same time to go get drinks(supposable). But NO ONE seen her that night after she told her mom she would be right back! For a women that is going to walk away from your life don't you think you would take your purse or your debit card with you!!!!! Considering all the money she had in this world is in the bank and she has no access to it without her debit card or checkbook that is in her room at her house still to this day!! So that is one theory you can through out the window because if she was going to walk away she would have taken the eight hundred dollars she had with her because why would she care about keeping the money to pay bills. She would have wanted that start her new life as you say! I have a question for you how do you know if she even has a tattoo? If you are an outsider looking in! As for me being close to Kelly and letting her be with a married man, Kelly is a grown and so is Gene. She knew how I felt about it. I told her on a daily basis that she needed to get away from him. That he was no good for her or her kids. You are bad mouthing me for not standing up for her blame me you don't know me, I am the one that stopped her from going to his home with his children there to confront his wife. Because of my concern for his children and Kelly agreed with me. But before when she was going to go even though I did not agree with her confronting her and him my husband and I were going to go with her just so I knew she was going to be safe. Because I knew that he had had other girlfriends in the past and I did not know at the time if any of them ever confronted her and I did not know how this crazy bit... would react. If you would read what is being wrote it was not Kelly that did not want us around him or his friends it was GENE! He tried to keep her friends at distance we still are wondering why? We are starting to learn why, but there are many questions that still need to be answered. As for Ms. Anonymous at least she is letting people know what kind of things they are up to. I am glad also that she was strong enough to get away from the situation so she did not end up like Kelly. I just wish Kelly would have learned what kind of person he was before she fell in love with him. As for her car being gone through with a fine tooth comb, that is a joke! Because they just thought it was abandoned at the time. She was not reported at the time because it was the very next morning and if you know anything about missing persons cases they have to be gone for 48hours before anything can be done. I would like to know how the car got back out of the salvage yard, I really don't think it grew wings and flew!!!! This is a man that said he loved her and was going to marry her and when we were looking for her in the beginning, going by his story. Where was he no were to be found. He did not bring her children's things or hers back for a week and a half(enough time for bruises,scratches, and any other cover up you need to do) I WILL TELL YOU WHO THE REAL VICTIMS ARE IN THIS IS HER CHILDREN AND HIS If you have anything else you would like answers to please let me know because I feel that you don't understand that this man, his wife, and or his friends know what has happened to my best friend!!!!

Missing Kelly Saturday's are hard

Today is a Saturday I have a really hard time with Saturday's. That was the day we spent all day with the kids weather it was just watching them playing in the yard, catching fireflys, or those boys trying to carry a log that is three times bigger than all of them, just to help Jason start their fire to roast marshmallows for there smores. There is just so many things that we use to do together that I cannot name them all. We were like are own little family. I would just do about anything to have that back. Missing her more than I ever thought possible!!! July 29, 2006

Putting a person behind Kelly's missing poster

Sunday's Wheeling News Register is planning a front page article on Kelly the person, not just the missing girl. I have been in contact with the man from the paper for a couple of weeks and am really looking forward to seeing the final copy. Please let me know what everyone thinks of the article.

My name is Heather Dobrzynski. My best friend Kelly Jo Elliott was taken from us on May 25, 2006. She was a mother of two precious little boys, ages 7 and 5. All that new her know that she would never take off and leave those babies have suspected foul play all along, at least the ones that knew Kelly the best. This bloc is for me to post my comments and feelings on Kelly's disappearance. I guess I should give you some background on the case. The police have finally said that they think she was the victim of foul play. There was a delay in reporting Kelly as a missing person, almost five days. No one has seen her since she left her parents home on May 25th. The last person to see her was her married boyfriend Gene Talik from Aleppo Township. Mr. Talik provided investigators with inaccurate information about Kelly's disappearance. Specifically, he told them that Kelly had "left him in a huff" after they quarreled at her parents' home. His story did not check out. Investigators asked Gene to take a lie detector test, but he declined. He has since hired a lawyer and stopped cooperating with law officers in West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Her car went missing with her and on June 29th the police had a press conference that I attended. They revealed that Kelly's 1999 Oldsmobile Alero some how found its way to a salvage yard in New Sewickley the day after she vanished. The business is not to far from where Gene Talik lives with his family. The license plates from Kelly's car were missing. They also said something about the window being broke and that was broke before she went missing. I told the investigators that, but they acted like that was something new at the conference. The owner of the salvage yard called the New Sewickley police officers. They wrote a report but did not impound Kelly's car. For it was not reported stolen or linked to a crime, so police had no authority to seize it. They left the car in the salvage yards owners possession. Five days later, Kelly's car was gone from the salvage yard. "It disappeared as Mysteriously as it arrived," Sheriff Burgoyne said. I would like to know if there is a fence around this salvage yard, and how that car got off of the lot without nobody seeing it? It is not like the car grew wings to get out of there. Most of the information that we have received so far came from that June 29th press conference. We have heard nothing from them, when you call all they say is they are working on it. Well prove it tell us they made him take a lie detector test. Tell us what they found when they had the FBI look through two more of his vehicles. We held a candlelight vigil to pray for answers to come soon on July 25, 2006(the two month mark of her being gone from her loved ones). We had a very nice turn out, some family members(no parents or sister), a lot of friends, and some that did not even know the wonderful person we were praying for. The goal of the vigil was to let people know that she is still missing(a lot of rumors that are doing nothing but hurting the case), to pray for God to give us the answers we need to bring this mother, daughter, sister, and my best friend home!
