Hey KA,
When I first heard that you were in a serious car accident . I said to myself this couldn’t be true. How can someone like you, so good have something bad happen? When I have a bad day, I always call Ms. Kelley Anne and it’s all better. You make me laugh... Your that special friend that only people dream about. I will continue to visit you and sing (Earth Wind & Fire) songs to the GODS for your speedy recovery. Miss that smile!
Lu ya, Gary :)
Hi Kelly Anne. Gary keeps me updated on your recovery and as soon as you can have visiters, I'll be there to brighten your day. You keep up the good work with your speedy recovery and I'll keep pumping those prayers for You, James, and the rest of your family. Take care, my friend.
Love you much,
Geno

Just heard from your father in law, Harold Butler, that you are improving. That is very encouraging to all of us who have been praying for your recovery. You undoubtedly have an indomitible spirit and will to make a full recovery. With your fighting spirt, and the prayers of so many people, we believe that you will be up and up your feet in the near future. Keep on fighting the good fight as we continue to pray for your recovery. All the best of all good things.
Kelley Anne!
We went to you last night and you were sound asleep. You must have been worn out from Dawn and Kel's visit with you earlier. They were bragging about how they had such a great visit with you and all of the chatting that
went on........
Actually, we are just jealous of them. We are looking forward to hearing you talk to us! We were there on Tuesday and you recognized Zoom and he asked if he could rub your head. You smiled and nodded yes. It was such a wonderful thing!
You are going to pull through this because there is such a strong force of love surrounding you. You have so many people who love you and want you back.
You are truly blessed.
We will see you tonight.
All our Love,
Zoom and Maryann
12/3 9amish. Hey Kelley Anne.It's Lynn from work. Alot of us on Mids heard about the incident when it happened. We thought it would be right to just leave the visits and phone calls for Family. Now that I see you've been getting visitors all this time, I feel like we missed out earlier. I guess you have a BIG family and we are all part of it. So watch out, we're coming. It's GREAT to see you're on the the road to recovery. I'll call James to see what's the best time to Vanpool over. We love you girl. See you soon.

Hello Kelley Anne--
It's so good to hear that you are doing and feeling(we hope) better. I told Dawn my heart skipped a beat when she told us you were off the ventilator. And now your talking. Liz and I can't tell you and James how much we wish you a speedy and full recovery...with your friends and family around, it will give you the strength to do so. We wish we could come see you, but in our absence, just know we are always thinking of you, James and your family and friends. Get well soon!!
Dearest Kelley Anne,
Gosh, I don't know what to say! Knowing that you have gone through this ordeal has rendered me speechless. I want you to know I think of you often and pray for your speedy recovery.
I'm in NYC with your sister Connie and Dawn and I know how much they love you and want you to be well. Although we haven't spoken for a while I still feel like it was yesterday when we were laughing and your fun energy was affecting everyone around you.
I will continue to pray for you. You are a sweetie Kelley Anne!
Love,
Maria Yorton
Dear Kelley Anne,
I have been reading about you almost every day just waiting to see what you are going to say next. I talked to my boss and was able to get new years off so me and Aaron will be able to come up and see you. keep getting better. love you lots
Eyreka
Dear KelleyAnne
I came to visit you on Thursday and you were doing really well. You asked me several questions and I made a promise to you. By the time you read this I will have contacted James. Friday is a big day for you and your recovory. I will be back to see you again after.
I will tell everyone at work how you are and they all wanted to say hello and how much they love you and miss you.
I will talk to you soon
Paul
Hi Kelley Anne!
I've been following your progress ... keep up the great work! :-)
I just wanted to pass along best wishes from the Blue Devils Alumni ... there are a lot of alums keeping you in their thoughts and prayers. You've got 35+ years of alumni rooting for you!
Stay strong!

Good Morning Bling!
I knew you were a star the first time I laid eyes on you.
It was in a funky elementary school cafeteria in Concord, probably in the winter of 1976. You walked in the door of color guard captain auditions (after I had conducted weeks of training which you DID NOT attend), and kicked everyone's backside -- no contest, no prisoners.
Then, after you won the audition you said you didn't want the position! You'd just done it as a joke! There were 12 other girls begging for the starring role, but you just wanted to be one of the gang.
You said being out front would be "too embarrassing," but I insisted. So. . .every time I turned my back, you put someone else out in front and put yourself back in the line. It took me decades to figure that one out!
Well, I'm old and grey now, and here's what I know YOU taught ME:
1) (First and foremost) Kelley Anne does not do ANYTHING she doesn't want to do.
2) If Kelley Anne wants to do it, consider it done.
3) Some people lead from the front, some people lead from the back, and but the best leaders do so by example, wherever they find themselves and regardless of the limelight.
When I saw you open your eyes last week and stare right at me I knew you were up for this fight.
You are one of the strongest people I have ever encountered.
You are a star amongst stars.
You are an inspiration to us all.
Even in those moments when it feels like you are doing this all by yourself, please remember YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
We are all with you, pulling for you, cheering you on. We will help you any way we can.
We love you, and we still sing "Bling. . . Kelley Anne."

As I was thinking of what to say,I thought,"AH-HA"....
I'll just remind everyone that we're talking about a former "Warrior" and "Blue Devil".....Then I took a look at your amazing Daily Progress and saw all your BD Buds had beat me to it....Well then,from another "Former Warrior" (Yes,YOU TOO Carolyn!!!)....It looks as if your daily progess is nothing short of amazing!!!.....But knowing you,somehow that does'nt surprise me.
To K.A.'s Husband James,her Mom & Dad and Steve(And again,yes,you too Carolyn),thanks for the updates, ....Git on outta' there as soon as ya can and I'm comin'ta see ya as soon as they let me....
Love ya....Yer High School Buddy,
"J.C."

James and Kelley Anne...I just heard of KelleyAnne's accident today from my grandmother Lorene Jerke. Though I don't know you, I know of you, and am deeply sorry for what has happened to you. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. May God bless you and continue to be with you through this.

Eyreka Cummings
Hi Kelley Anne!
Every day the news just gets better and better. You are a remarkable human being and you have more strength than any one I know. James has been keeping us posted, as well as this blog, and, of course, Dawn. We knew you had been in surgery last Friday and we wanted to wait a few days before we visited you again. Zoom was by there on Thursday
last week and he and Kelly let you know the plans they have made for you. They are taking charge of your physical therapy. As if you don't feel bad enough already! =-)
Zoom was so thrilled to have a conversation with you. He is still jazzed up about it! See the affect you have on people?
You are in our thoughts every single day. See you soon,
Love,
Maryann
Wednesday Evening, Dec 15 - from Dad
A Room With a View
Friends and Family,
Kelley Anne's first day out of ICU has been a joy. She has started rehab, and is closely watched by the staff. Diane, Karen, Boo and Kelly visited early, and Diane set up a beautiful Christmas tree with decorations. James put all the photos, drawings, Alex the cat's picture, and Pudge's truck on her wall opposite the bed so she can see them. The Ortho floor is in the new building, and resembles a luxury hotel in layout, and decor, with large picture windows, Atrium lounge, and roof walk. Pudge sat up for 15 minutes tonight. It was painful, but she persevered. James gave her sips of water, and orange juice with a spoon, and she loves it. Suds sent tree ornaments for the tree by UPS, and we put them under the tree. We also delivered the Reindeer Antenna ball from Jack I. T. Box. Pudge thought he was hilarious. Mama, James, Amelia Ann, Dawn, Boo, Mary Serena, and I were there from 8:00 til 9:30, and Pudge enjoyed the company immensely. She is still getting oriented to a lost 4 weeks, but she is doing beautifully. Dawn called Frank, and Pudge talked to him on the cell phone. She also called Suds in Vancouver for Pudge to talk to her. Both Frank and Suds were overcome with receiving Pudges first 2 phone calls. She wound up consoling both, which was very touching to all of us. With all the joy of the day, the evening ended on a very sad note.
One of the most generous, kind, friends of the group is Gary Chaw. Gary is a very private person, but an unbelievably resourceful organizer, and leader of people. All who know him will follow him thru fire. And Gary was one of the first on the scene after Pudge reached the ER. And he was , as usual, 2 days ahead of everyone in tying up loose ends in every direction. We missed Gary's presence since Sat. night. Tonight, we learned that he and Mona and family are in Missouri for the funeral of their nephew, who had just returned from Bush's idiotic, needless, Iraq war, and was killed on an ATV. 24 years old, and the family was preparing a big Christmas for him. Pudge does not know. I wish the rest of us did not. What has this country wrought to punish itself to this degree? We all hurt deeply for Gary and Mona.
Janet, Bill, James, Diana, Dawn, Boo, Amelia Ann, Diane, and Kelly
Hi Kelley Anne and James. It is Monday Dec 20. Just want to check in and tell you how amazed we are at your progress and healing. You have been the focus of more prayers than you may ever know. We are so thrilled to hear of your improvements. It sounds like every day is a new adventure. I still chuckle when I think of you saying that you were moving closer to Walnut Creek. Kelley Anne, you are a shining star and we can't wait to come down and see you. James - our love is with you. Our warmest wishes, thoughts and prayers go out to you both (and all the family and friends.) Love, Don Andrea Kali Cameron

James & Kelley Anne,
I just wanted to drop you guys a line. I can't emphasize enough how blessed you both are. There are so many prayers from family and friends. Both of you are loved very much and are always in my thoughts. This may sound strange, but I dislike emotion, not because I feel lightly , but because I feel deeply. It is painful for all of use to see you guys go though this. I know in my heart that Kelley Anne will ounce agsin be able to dance like no one is looking and live like it's heaven on earth. Time is of the essence. Take care and I'll see you guys next month.
Love.
Bruce Butler
Merry Christmas Kelley Anne and James!! Happy and Healthy New Year!! Its great to hear about your progress, Kelley Anne...we miss you and wish we could see you. But we are always thinking of you and your family. Happy Holidays!!

Merry Christmas Kelley Anne
Your recovery has been amazing but not surprising. I saw you when you were in the ICU and look forward to seeing you again.

This is to all the angels here on earth that are taking care of Kelley-Anne and James,
Everyday in the world around us real-life angels are doing things that we all don't know and see, they are bringing smiles, they build bridges that cross the emotion gap. They tend to be the only ones who understand the pain your going through. If they sense your lonelines they do whatever they can to bring comfort. Real life angels are what inner-beauty is all about. They never hold things against you they just HOLD YOU. They take your hand in theirs when you need reassurance, they will walk beside you when ever you need direction in your life and they support you in your attempts to do what you feel is right. Real life angels mutiply your smile and your love and your strength. They quietly prove to you how beautiful you are. I think from the time of the accident you have been surrounded by real life angels. To all of you who are her angels, Bless you for your reward is not only seeing Kelley-Anne through this but knowing that she sees and knows that you were sent from God for her. I watch and I listen to you all and it restores my faith in a world that offers little comfort. I thank God for you all and that we are all connected. I am humbled to be part of the friends and family of Kelley-Anne and James. Merry Christmas to you all! Renee Butler
James and Kelley Anne, It is wonderful to see the major progress that you are making. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. Every day shows more improvement than the previous which is proof how strong prayer is. We love you and pray for a speedy recovery.

Kelley Anne,
2005 is almost upon us and most of your surgerys are behind you. We have got some serious work to do, starting with eating, and then physical therapy. The road to recovery will be long, but not with your family and friends helping each step of the way.
I miss you.
I love you,
-Dawn
Kelley-Anne, It may not seem like you are blessed at the moment but I am speaking of your friends and family that surround you in every way. Dawn who is the very meaning of the words best friend. She has been feeling and living this with you every step of the way. She is the kind of friend who knows what you have need of before you ask, one who is connected to your heart also. Thank-you Dawn for this unselfish love. This note does not in any way leave out anyone who has and is there for Kelley-Anne. You are all so important and special and never doubt that what you say and do for her does not go unnoticed.
James you are the definition of the word husband. I am sure webster had your picture in mind to put beside the word. Kelley-Anne is blessed in so many ways with her husband, her family and her friends. As the new year approaches let's all give a silent pray of thanks that we are together in life,love and friendship to welcome the new year to come. The new year offers new hope, new beginnings and new found strengths. I wish for all of you to recieve the blessings you deserve. Renee Buler
Kelley-Anne and James .. I live down in Louisiana and heard of your accident and surgeries since .. I was told of your site and came to offer prayer .. Just wanted to encourage the family to keep praying. God hears your prayers .. one important thing to remember .. is it is through the weakness that we become strong .. Faith is believing in things we can not see. I believe with you all for Kelley-Anne's complete recovery ..Family members .. be strong for Kelley-Anne and especially for James .. they need you. Know that you have the Lady Eagles of Patterson, Louisiana praying for you ..In Christ LisaMe
New Years Eve, 7:00pm
Hello Miss Kelley,
I was up to see you last evening but you were sound to sleep; I did not disturb you as you need your rest. I am glad to hear you have a feeding tube (even though you already out, AGAIN... you need your nourishment.
We will toast one to you tonight and wish you all the best in 2005. We all plan to come visit you tomorrow and are anxiously looking forward to comforting you.
Aaron and Eyreka have been here today, helping me make appetizers for tonight's celebrations. It won't be the same without you. Frank came to see you tonight but was deterred by your nurse. She said you need your rest....
As always, Love You and Miss You Madly,
-Dawn
Hey Kelley Anne,
Its Eyreka and Aaron, we came to see you tonight not sure if you were asleep or not, but your eyes were closed. We didn't stay to long, frank and kelly were waiting to see you next. Aaron says you looked better then the last time he saw you. Hope to see you tom. wish your were here with us. Lots of love and we miss you. Hope your night get better.
Love~
Eyreka & Aaron
kelley anne, james and the corkran/butler families--
it sounds as though is been a bit of a tough ride getting into the new year 2005. while liz and I are heartbroken at hearing of any complications you might be going through, rest assured that you are never alone in any of this. the outpouring of thought and sympathy from friends and family is truly amazing, and although we are at a great distance from you, we toasted to you and james on New Years Eve and will continue to think of you guys and pray for your speedy and healthy recovery. as weird as it might sound, things like this tend to make all involved stronger and wiser. we love you and miss you.
todd and liz clark
I would like to offer this prayer. Father God, we lift up Kelley Anne and James and whole extended list of family and friends both far and near. Be with the doctors and the medical staff as they treat Kelley Anne. Guide their hands and their hearts as each one assists in her recovery. We thank you for this internet medium to follow Kelley Anne's progress. Blessings upon Steven and Bill and the others who faithfully update us on her activities. Thank you for their honesty and detail as they bridge the miles for those of us that feel so very far away. Please give Kelley Anne, James and all involved courage and strength to face each new day and the challenges it may bring. We humbly lay our prayers at your feet and know that you are in control. Jeremiah 29:11-12 says "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen." In Jesus' name, Amen.
Kelley Anne and James - we love you and pray for you. We pray for strength and peace and healing. We look forward to seeing you both. Love, Andrea
Kelley Anne, your struggle to survive has reached the unknown corners of humanity in ways you'll not know. God's divine power will provide you strength and fortitude to accomplish the diabolical task of healing the physical atributes that have been sieged of you. In time, you will conquer the challenges ahead of you and recover beond everybodys expectations and hopes. Your family, friends, aquaintances, doctors, nurses, and even the Uncle of Curtis Constanza (Connies husband)knows your a figher and will win this battle. I know you have never met me, nor I you, but your sister (Connie) is a remarkable woman and I'm sure you equal her as a beautiful person from the inside out. You are truly and inspriation to us all. Bad things don't happen to good people, rather, when the going gets (bad) tough, the tough get going. You are a perfect example of that. Get well fast because, from the looks of this site you'll have a whole bunch of reading to do. God bless you and keep up the great fight back to health.
Jim Zintz (Uncle Jim)
Hello Kelley Anne,

Eyreka
Hi Kelly Anne!
We did a brief sojourn together in the winterguard of 1978 - don't know if you'll remember me. You also marched with my brother - Bill Swaim (and I'll apologize right now....). Actually he is doing better than any of us would have believed and apparently so are you. I've read the reports of your progress and your strength and resiliance comes through in abundance! I'm so pleased you have such a formidable network of family and friends to look after and pray for you. I hope you'll count me among them.
I see Connie from time to time at colorguard events up here in Washington. You know I was her instructor in the Jr Drum and Bell Corps when she was seven? I was still working from the Mel Stratton method of colorguard itimidation, I mean instruction, so I'll apologize for that too! (Joke, Mel!) Anyway, I hope the next time I see Connie during the upcoming season she'll have even more good news about your progress.
We only performed together briefly, but it is clear from the postings here that you grew into a funny, bright and well loved woman. No big suprise. Keep on keepin on and you are in all our hearts.
Cheryl Swaim Garcia

Dear Kelley Anne,
I'm sorry this note comes so long after your accident. I was just out on the BD web site and saw the posting. (This will teach me to check the site more often!) Please add my thoughts and prayers to the very long list of family and friends who have been with you since the accident.
I'm sure I never told you but I really learned a lot from marching by you in '83! You made an "import" feel very welcome.
Love,
Cathy (Carlson) Knight
Hello Kelley Anne,
ITs the day after your lunch. its to bad that you couldn't come, it was a lot of fun. most of the people that came i didn't even know, i think like 70 people came too. Aaron was doing viedo and i was taking pics. i think i got a pic of every one. (i hope) we didn't get to see you :( Jimbo said it would be better not too. but we will!! I'm going to be getting you some stuff to help out your hair, its 4 horses but i use it and its great! i'll be getting it this week some time and mailing it up, so people can get started making your hair pretty again. Love to see you are doing good. lots of love from us all! talk to you soon.
Love alwayz~ Eyreka*
Kelley Anne,
I believe you are making huge strides in your physical therapry/rehabilitation and I can hardly wait to hear the update from your Dr's meetings today. Suds tells me you are very well! She had a great visit with you, Katie and Kelly yesterday afternoon. I look forward to seeing you tonight. Something tells me you will be home sooner than we all think possible; I know how determined you are to get out of that hospital!
My dear friend, I think of you daily and wish I could bare your pain for you.
"An Ole' Irish Blessing for The Journey"
Lucky stars above you,
Sunshine on your way,
Many friends to love you,
Joy in work and play,
Laughter to outweigh each care,
In your heart a song,
And gladness waiting everywhere
All your whole life long!
Love,
Dawn, Frank, Shawna and Lydia Lee
Have only just heard the news from John - we are so glad to hear you are making progress. Just keep thinking positive...
We are thinking of you all the way over here in freezing old England and Holly sends big hugs and kisses.
Love to both you and James and will send another message soon

Hi, Kelley Anne!
It was great seeing you again last Saturday. You looked 1,000% better than when I stopped by on Christmas Day. It was so nice to visit with you. You are definately on your way home!!! Take care. Much love,
Elizabeth Maes (and husband Harris and little man Edgar)
Hello sweet Kelley Anne!
I never know what I’m going to read about you every day. You are going so well. And I’m sure the shower helped out allot. Doesn’t look like you are going to be needing the hair stuff I sent you but that’s ok you can have it 4 what ever time you want. They are saying you might be home by spring! How great is that! Just keep it up and you will get there! I will talk to Aaron tonight and see if we can come up one weekend to see you since we haven't really been able to the last 2 times.
I might be buying a car this week! We are going up to look at them on wed. I’ll let you know if I do. I think I’m going to be getting a VW Jetta, what do you think? I think they are way cute.
I started school this week to. I have to get up a 6am mon-thru. And that’s a big move since I have been rolling out of bed around 10:30 every day. Here
Anywayz I’ll talk with you soon, hope you get to read all of the thing people have written to you soon! Lots of love and kisses!
Love~
Eyreka*
Welcome to February Kelley Anne!
Today is Sud's Birthday~ Happy Birthday Connie!
I hope and I pray that February will be the last month you spend in John Muir Hospital - for the rest of your life! March brings great things, as does February. You are improving with great stride these past few days. I plan to come to the hospital tonight with Lydia. Frank will be at your house with James and Brad finishing up the Bar Room. I can't wait to see it, along with the new window in the kitchen. I am so anxious for you to come home, probably not as half as anxious as you are! :-) I so look forward to my visit with you tonight. Until then, keep up the great work. See you then.
I love you Kelley Anne,
-Dawn
(God bless you Sharon. It is a know fact that women don't feel good about themelves if they are having a bad hair day. Professinaly doing Kelley Anne's hair will really help boost her spirits. Thank you from All of us!)
Kelley Anne,
My my look at you go. When Aaron told me that the date of you getting out would be the 23rd I was so happy! It’s going by so fast! And you are doing so well. I am going to talk to Aaron about when we can go up and see you. And you can see MY NEW CAR! I got a 2003 VW Jetta! 14,000 miles and I got it 4 12,000. You would have been proud of me in the dealership. I was kicking butt. And to let you know it the safest car they make. So you don't have to worry about me. I’m so glade on how good you are doing! Hope to see/talk to you soon. Every one sends lots of hugs and kisses! Talk to you soon
Love alwayz~Eyreka*
Hi Kelley Anne,
I don't know how I did not hear about your accident until today. I have been sitting here in total shock. I wish I could have been there for you sooner. I have not seen you in over 20 years and still it seems just like yesterday we were hanging out! I am so happy to hear you will be coming home soon and want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. We have a lot of catching up to do when you are feeling better....Love Always, Your friend, Laurie Giroux
Dear James and Kelley-Anne,
Well it seems that this leg of your journey is about to end and another will begin. We never find out the answer to why we have to make certain journey's but in the long run it is usually for a good or informational reason.
Kelly-Anne when you started this path in your walk of life it was not only for you. It seems we all have traveled this one with you. You felt the physcial part and we felt the emotional part. You learned important things about yourself and your husband, friends and life engeneral. We have never been promised tomarrow so live today to the best you can and cause no harm to anyone for tomarrow may come and we have to face those people.
In life we all need a miracle once in a while and Kelly-Anne you were ours. You proved what prayer and love and support can accomplish. I pray that I learned as much through all this as you have so that I can be an example of true friendship and family.
We don't always get a wake up call such as this but it sometimes is necesarry to remind us what is truly valueable and important.
Thank you Kelly-Anne for allowing me to be with you through this and for the lesson's you have taught to me.
God spared you for a reason and it is up to you to discover what it is. God Bless you and keep you always in the fold of his arms.
Your friend and sister-in-law Renee Butler

And there is much rejoicing!!!!!!!
Judi and I have been following your progress from day 1. We visited you a couple of times in the first week, and then we were scared off with the "too many visitors" post. And yes, we understand completely.
I have been traveling like crazy, as usual, and this "blog" kept me updated.
Again, I want to thank your family for all of the updates. I started to get upset if there wasn't an update for a day or two. Boy are we spoiled.
Welcome home......
Scott & Judi Johnson

aloha kelley Anne:
I have been and am still praying for your health since I heard from James on what happened. And I had just seen you a few weeks before at James 'goodbye' United lunch. Please know that even when everyone has their own problems, you have always been on our minds and hearts. I am sure your strength and with James' support- you will come out shining. Remember, I played his big sister when he first joined United so I am confident I trained him well to always respect, honor, and be by your side in time of need. He will never be out of line, and do not ever doubt his love for you. Learn to let him do things for you as he is your other half. Side by side the two of you will persevere any obstacles in your life no matter how trying it may seem at the moment.
Love you,
Helen
Hello Kelley Anne,
I am so happy to learn that you are home and have been for many months. I was at the hospital a couple of days right after your accident and left you flowers with a little card. In my naivete with how extensive your injuries were as well as the rules that ICU's have, I was shocked to learn that they did not allow flowers. I at least hope that you got my little message.
You have been in Dale and my thoughts and prayers since your accident. As a matter of fact, you were in my dream the other night. I want you to know that I'm thinking about you and I hope that you are still getting better and stronger with each passing day.
Love,
Laura Timmons (Brown)
