Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I'm Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God has laid for me
I took God's hand when I heard the call
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I found my peace at the close of the day.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy,
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Ah yes these things too, I will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you sunshine of tomorrow.
My life has been full, I savored much
Good friends, good times a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemes all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me
God wanted me now, God set me free.

Rest in peace my sister—You will not be forgotten. You have done your duty.

You, your family, and all those that have been affected by your passing are in my family’s prayers.

See you some day my sister.

Kelli was and still is a great person. I have only been in her family for a couple of months but she never treated me any different then the rest of the family. She was caring and respected everyone that respected her. She will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace Kelli.

Condolences to Officer Lambert's family and friends. I believe I met Kelli on another field of combat as a high school sports official refereeing Kelli as a high school athlete. May God Bless Kelli and keep her family close to his side.

To the family, fiancee, friends, and co-workers of Officer Lambert, I am SO sad to read about your loss. We all have tests God gives us before our time is up. Kelli just passed her tests sooner than most, and with flying colors (so I can tell by what I have read). Hold tight to your memories, through them she will live forever. God needed her with Him, and He only takes the best!! I know your pain, I have been there. There are no words that I can say to take away the pain, so all I will say is that I am praying for you and lean on God, He will comfort you (I know, because He comforts me). Kelli and Steve just now look down on us, not face to face, but they are still watching. Kelli, Steve has a great sense of humor also, I'm sure you two could share some good jokes!!

Kelli,
I cannot even begin to put into words how much you meant to me! you were such a wonderful and caring person always looking out for everyone, always there when you were needed. Your unbelievable love and dedication to your family, job and animals(especially zoe) showed what a truly beautiful person you were not only on the outside but in as well. There were 2 things that meant the most to you, family(which was more important then anything) and job, you loved them both and had both in 1 at WPD you really loved those guys. You always brightened a day, It never mattered what kind of mood I was in, when I saw your beautiful smiling face and heard your wonderful giggle I couldnt help but to smile and be happy. You gave so much to your friends, the department and the residents of wellston but asked for nothing in return. You truly cared about people and there problems and always showed respect towards them. I just hope Wellston realizes what they've lost in you as a police officer and most of all as a friend. I miss you and I love you(the mostest)!

A final goodbye: In memory of Kelli L. Lambert
She was too young to say goodbye.
Looking up into the sky,
I ask the Lord why?
She was too young to say goodbye.
Why, how did she leave this earth so young?
Her life had just begun.
She was too young to say goodbye.
Free from this earth, now in heaven,
Her soul is born anew.
Everlasting eternal life, but many will be missing you.
Up in the paridise of heaven,
a new angel is born.
Free from this earth, our hearts are torn.
Why so young, we will mourn.
She was too young to say goodbye.
For all of those who want to cry,
Remember that she went to a better place,
The Kingdom of Heaven.
Free now like a bird in the sky.
Time will heal, and the tears will dry.
But she was too young to say goodbye.
A song was once sung,
"Only the good die young".
But she was too young to say goodbye.
For all who want to cry,
We must now say a final goodbye.
We will always remember and miss her.
We must never take life for granted,
A final goodbye as a last resort.
We must always remember life is short.
And someday we will all join her up above.
But she was too young to say goodbye.
Rest in peace Kelli

Goodbye for now. You were not here long, yet you apparently touched many lives. You touched mine today, as well. We'll meet one day.

First of all, Kelli, you were like a sister to me growing up, although we didn't spend all that much time together the past few years, you were still my little "sister". We were both too busy, with school, work, sometimes sleep, whatever it was, I wish I could go back and spend more time with you. You were the only one to understand my stupid jokes and we could laugh about stupid things together, you had the most unbelievable sense of humor and I will never forget that. And your smile...it was one of a kind! Even though I never told you, I do love you! I know you saw the funeral procession and I know what you would say, HECK YEAH! You are so respected and loved, you definetly left your mark on this world!

Secondly, I would personally like to thank everyone for everything that they have done for our family. The love and respect everyone has shown for my cousin has been amazing and she deserves every bit of it. Although I did not see her as a woman, she was an awesome woman!

Finally, my aunt Vanessa asked me shortly after we learned about Kelli's passing, to always wear my seatbelt, even if it were to drive down the street, put it on as soon as I get in the car. I must admit, I hardly ever wore my seatbelt, before this, but now I always put it on, and I always will. How many of you will make a similar promise to your loved ones?

I love you Kelli and I will NEVER forget you, you and Papa be good now!

I JUST FINISHED READING THE LETTERS FROM YOUR FAMILY AND COLLEAGUES, OBVIOUSLY YOU MADE AN IMPRESSION ON MANY PEOPLE DURING YOUR TIME HERE. I'M SURE THAT YOUR FAMILY IS ASKING WHY GOD WOULD TAKE YOU AT A TIME WHEN YOUR LIFE IS JUST BEGINNING.

I AM PREPARING TO GO TO A FUNERAL FOR A POLICE OFFICER WHO JUST PASSED AWAY FROM CANCER AT THE AGE OF 44. WHY WOULD GOD DO SUCH A THING TO THESE PEOPLE WHO DEDICATE THEIR LIVES TO HELPING OTHERS? GOD HAS A SPECIAL PLAN FOR THOSE THAT HE TAKES.... WE'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND UNTIL WE MEET HIM. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

Kelli, you will always be remembered & loved very much. I didn't know you all that well but you were considered a friend. When ever I saw you rather it was on a call,in Long John Silvers,getting gas,or others...you always had that bright smile on your face. You were a great officer and you're honored very much. Rest in peace Kelli,you'll never be forgotten!

My thoughts and prayers are with the family,friends,Wellston Police Department,and her fiance Scott. May god be with you all through the tragedy.

Words cannot even begin to describe the emptiness losing you has left in my heart. You were not just my baby girl you were my best friend, and nothing or nobody could ever could come close to replacing you sweetheart! I do find comfort in knowing that you are in heaven and that I will see you again someday, and hopefully then understand why your time here with me was so short. It also helps to think of ALL the great times we did have together and to know that you were respected and loved by so many others as well. To know you was to LOVE you. The dedication and loyalty you had for your other "FAMILY" in uniform, your quick wit and hilarious sense of humor, the compassion you had for all living persons and animals, and especially that smile that rivaled any ray of sunshine I've ever seen, made you truely one of a kind! You will never be forgotten princess, you will live in our hearts and memories FOREVER!!!!! I know if you could come back tomorrow you would be right back out there doing it all over again. You not only loved it, you lived it, and baby you were "ONE OF THE BEST". Although my heart breaks with your loss it also bursts with pride for the beautiful young woman you became, and all that you accomplished in the short time you were with us. I have no doubt that even now you are watching over ALL of us, looking down with that rotten little grin saying NOBODY messes with MY family, (either one of them). Kelli you'll always be the brightest star in my sky,I just hope you know how VERY VERY MUCH WE ALL LOVE YOU!!!!!!!! And yes I'll take GOOD care of ZOE', she loves and misses you too. Hats off to you "'my little angel in uniform". I will keep you close ALWAYS , right her in my heart. Love, Mommy

MOMMY/BEST FRIEND

Such a tragedy- I know Kelli will be sadly missed by her family, her friends,and her co-workers. Just like the others before, my prayers and sympathy go out for all of them.What God created, he now will welcome home.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons (or daughters) of God. Mt 5.9

Such a shame to see a beautiful face and realize that the soul that belonged to that face is no longer among us. But we all find comfort in knowing that that soul is walking next to the Father and the Son right now on the clouds of Heaven. And even though we no longer have a face to see, she, and all our other brothers and sisters who've passed, are with us in spirit every day.

God bless you Officer Lambert, and may God anoint your family with the holy spirit in their time of mourning.

Amen.
