Lara Kellogg

- The breadth of her relationship to us is far reaching, her friendships deep and long lasting. Ever in motion, she lived three lives every day, her broad smile and infectious laughter gracing each moment. She was a natural storyteller, in delivery and in experience, for they were her stories, unembellished. To summarize her would be a travesty of embarrassing proportions; even for those of us who were characters in her stories, our remembrance is but a moment of her rich life. If you live only one life each day, these stories will be a window into an existence extraordinary. Yes, if you were close, if you were acquainted, and even if you never had the opportunity, these stories will help all of us in the years to come, our years without Lara.

I graduated from high school with Lara;s mother and was good friends with both of Lara's parents.
If somehow you can convey my deepest condolences to Guna and Bob and their family I would very much appreciate it.
I live in Salem, MA, so cannot be there to share in their sorrow along with Lara's husband and brother.
Please give them my love.
Regards,
