In Memory Of Kelsey Shelton Smith-Briggs

Kelsey Shelton Smith was born December 28, 2002

Following is a description of Kelsey from her mommy, Raye Dawn:

"Kelsey had a little giggle she would do and cover her mouth when she thought something was so funny...

She knew where she wanted to be, and she had a smile and personality that could brighten up any room.

Everyone that met her fell in love with her....

I took her to get her ears pierced. She was so grown up about it (more than adults usually are). It was a VERY special time for us. She knew she was going to have earrings just like her mommy, and she was so excited about that. When she was all done the first thing she said was, "I haffa (have to) go show grandma (Gayla Smith)!"

To put it all together, SHE WAS PERFECT... and that is just the bottom line... I know all parents say that, but she REALLY was..."

Kelsey left this world at the age of two and a half from blunt force trauma to her abdomen. Her step-father, Mike Porter, is serving a 30 year sentence after pleading to enabling child abuse. He pled to enabling versus being charged with murder and sexual assault, his original charges.

Kelsey's mom, Raye Dawn Smith is serving a 27 year sentence for enabling child abuse. She's awaiting an appeal.

This story is so touching to me. She really did have a purpose, and I hope that she can spread courage, so that children don't have to go through what she did.
