KELLI LAINE LEWIS~ JULY 18, 1982-JANUARY 21, 2001 Born in Cape Coral Florida, raised in Columbus, Worthington Ohio. spent my last years on earth in Charlotte NC. also Tega Cay, Fort Mill & Rock Hill SC. i had a great smile, infectious laugh and a lot of heart. i liked to draw, listen to music, play nintendo (old skool kind) and hanging out with my crew was the most important thing to me. i loved macaroni N cheese, taco hell & ramen noodles, which we called "roman numerals" (family joke). i drove my mom crazy cooking these things in plastic bowls, which made them turn color. *angel giggles* i rock'd NIKE, ECHO & LUGZ! i supported the Carolina Panthers & the oHIo State Buckeye's & everyone loved to chill with me i struggled with addictions to drugs and alcohol. the old lady tried to get me help but no place would take me for treatment in SC or NC b/c i was a minor at the time & they dont have adolescent centers :( i had to wait until i turned 18 then i checked myself into rehab & did meetings. i was doing pretty good until that night. i'm proof that not everyone makes it back after a relapse. "jails~institutions~death" wow! they werent f'n around when they said that in meetings! i wasnt a girly girl, or a tom boy either. jeans & a T-shirt & i was out the door. my make up was always perfect & i had really pretty eyes & always wore sparkly stuff on them. everyone loved the way my hair smelled :) i wasnt a cheerleader, didnt make the honor roll, but i did go to a couple of proms & my last report card was pretty good. YaY me! i did play soccer when i was younger & i was on the 'cheer team' in jr high. i loved children & helped 3 children in Darfur every month. i had a giving spirit & still do. i loved candles, fairies & pixies. i had the longest eyelashes of anyone you would ever meet. so long that i even trimmed them so people would stop saying they were fake! lol i loved to play pranks on people- even though it usually got me in trouble. umm like putting a rubber band around the spayer thingy at the kitchen sink. *giggle* i loved children, my family and would do anything for my friends. <333 Short version: When i was 18, left my house with mah crew and went to a party given by some college kids. they passed out flyers at my high school. hey..$5.00 to drink all ya want..ya know I couldn't pass that up! I had a great time, danced alot, drank alot. Ended up not leavin with my girlz. Dumb me! I left with two guys I knew, in one car... and another kid was following us, I was on my way home. 3 miles and i would have made it. We were on a really curvey road (Gold Hill) and the two cars started racing. I begged Tommy to stop.. I knew we were going down... but when you try to have a conversation with someone drunk, well- Alcohol,... always has the last word!!!! anywayz... our car went up in the air...took out the top of three tree's, threw me out and then the car landed on top of me :( was sittin in the front passenger seat. Me, Jason & Tommy didn't make it. Three families got the "knock at the door" that night. if ya want to see a movie (my friends & fam are in it!) bout this night & other kids like us... call the South Carolina Prosecution office @ 803-343-0765 (not that anyone got prosecuted- ..and this is my mom speaking- as she has vito power on my page- darn her!... but no one gave a crap about our deaths) so the least they can do is send "GRAVE DECISIONS" to ya 4 phree!!! UPDATE- too many people were asking for the movie- so now they will only send it to an "agency" or school- so just make one up *hehe* had a pretty cool funeral (if there is such a thing) It was damn hard to watch.

(T.I. feat jamie foxx) DONT CLICK IF YOU HAVE WHIMPISH TENDENCIES CUZ BEING US AINT SO PRETTY. this is in my yearbook for me, tommy & jason... it's also read in my movie by suhmer aka slumber (haha) WHEN SOMEBODY DIES, A CLOUD TURNS INTO AN ANGEL AND FLIES UP TO TELL GOD TO PUT ANOTHER FLOWER ON A PILLOW. A BIRD GIVES THE MESSAGE BACK TO THE WORLD, AND SINGS A SILENT PRAYER THAT MAKES THE RAIN CRY. PEOPLE DISAPPEAR, BUT THEY NEVER REALLY GO AWAY. THE SPIRITS UP THERE PUT THE SUN TO BED WAKE UP THE GRASS, AND SPIN THE EARTH IN DIZZY CIRCLES. SOMETIMES YOU CAN SEE THEM DANCING IN A CLOUD DURING THE DAY-TIME, WHEN THERY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE SLEEPING. THEY PAINT THE RAINBOWS AND ALSO THE SUNSETS AND MAKE WAVES SPLASH AND TUG AT THE TIDE. THEY TOSS SHOOTING STARTS AND LISTEN TO WISHES. AND WHEN THEY SING WINDSONGS, THEY WHISPER TO US, "DON'T MISS ME TOO MUCH. THE VIEW IS NICE, AND I'M DOING JUST FINE" ok enough sadville for now ~Kelli~ (with a lil help from *mom) *arggg i never could keep her outta my biz!! **eyeroll**
