Kelly was a girl i grew up going to school with! she was a very sweet and smart girl! i just wanna say im sorry to her parents and close friends for their loss!

Nicole was also someone i knew and grew up with we went to "camp fire" together....she was a very good friend of mine and i hope her mom and family are doing okay... i know its hard(for kelly's family too)but GOD has a better plan for kelly and we ALL have to just remember the BEST times we had with her and help Nicole and everyone else/each other deal with the pain of our loss and help those who were injured too!!!

[close friends]

WE MISS YOU KELLY!!!! YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN OR REPLACED IN OUR HEARTS AND LIVES!!
NICOLE...WE'RE SO SORRY THIS HAPPENED AND WE WISH WE COULD HAVE CHANGED IT ALL SO YOU BOTH WOULD BE HERE WITH US LAUGHING AND HAVING A GOOD TIME, INSTEAD OF THERE AND OUR HEARTS FILLED WITH PAIN AND OUR EYES FILLED WITH TEARS! WE LOVE YOU BOTH!!! AND TO YOUR FAMILIES....SORRY FOR ALL THE PAIN YOU'RE GOING THROUGH....WE WISH THINGS COULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT!!!

My husband saw this wreck and was there before careflight got there. My son was a friend of both these girls and we got the call that one was no longer living later that evening. THIS SUCKS!

Everyone loves it when they can finally drive. Please realize that it is not a fun game or new toy. If Nicole lives, she is going to live with the thought that her decision ended Kelly's life and I know in my heart she would never have done that. Please PLEASE kids think! IT IS NOT A GAME!! We have hundreds of big trucks here now and they can not just stop when you make a bad decision. I hope every one of you who knew the girls will make a firm decision to pay attention when you are driving and NOT let this happen again. Let something good come from something horrible and pray6985. Be the good part because nothing can replace Kelly or make Nickole well.

Pleas think, we don't want to loose anyone else.

This is a very sad thing to have happened. The passenger was the daughter of our family friend. Our heart goes out to the families of both girls. May the driver of the car be able to move forward with her life as I know she will carry this with her forever. I don't agree with our children being able to drive at this young age and I hope the young drivers out there will pay close attention while operating a car, its very dangerous out on the streets today and we as parents worry everytime our children leave the house. God Bless and be safe.

The title "New driver involved in crash that kills friend" is a bunch of BS!!!! Kelly Clark was my best friend in the whole world and Nicole Mcdonald is a friend of mine. I want the person who wrote this article to know that they are truly sick!!! Would you have advertised this if it was just some adults involved in a wreck?? NO! watch how you word things next time. mmkay?????????? What do you think Nicole is going to think when she sees this article if she hasnt already?? I saw it the day it was published and boy let me tell you, I WAS FURIOUS.
you should be ashamed of yourself.

I LOVE YOU KELLY.

[Sara White]

I really miss Kelly and her joyful face she was such a happy person.

I Miss you.

I was there, at the scene when it happened. I was driving a big rig just behind the one that was involved. It is a miracle that Nicole is alive at all.
