Kelly Ann Giancotti was born in United States on July 24, 1982 and passed away on May 28, 2005 at the age of 22. We will remember her forever.

She went to John Jay High School in East Fishkill, New York. She graduated in the class of 2000. She was engaged to a wonderful man who stood by her through thick and thin. Ed we thank you for that. It takes a special person to take the ride as you did. Thank God Kelly''s uncle Desmond, a Msgr. married them before she died. Even though it was not a legal marriage, it is just as strong in the eyes of God and means probably more than any piece of paper could ever represent. It is what Kelly always wanted. Our hearts go out to Eddie too.

Her parents, Deirdre and Scott, where the kindest people you could ever meet and it is no wonder Kelly was who she was. They did the very best job raising her and it showed. Why our time with our children is sometimes not long enough will never be known until we meet with Kelly again. And she will be waiting - with bubbles and sparkles and all the whistles. You can count on that.

Kelly worked at the Fishkill Bowling Alley, also known as Schneider''s Fishkill Bowl on Route 82 in Fishkill. She loved to be around people. And this was evident if you ever had the pleasure of meeting her.

Kelly was full of life and always saw the good in everyone and everything no matter what. She was an excellent Irish Dancer and enjoyed everything she did. Dolphins and Shamu were her passion. This was a person who refused to grow up and showed us all that there is always a little girl/boy within us waiting to come out at the right time. The world has lost a great soul but we are fortunate to have the best angel ever.

Kelly was one of a group of young ladies that grew up together. Never was there a more focused group of kids and now adults. Never was there such friendship and love amongst a large group. There were always 12-15 of them at a time, all staying out of trouble but having the time of their life. The group now has a void but Kelly will be forever watching. Making sure they still do the right thing because that was her way. She never abandoned anyone nor will she now even in death. She will stay with all those she loves and who loved her.
