Kelsey quickly became aware of how important it is to cherish the people she loves and the activities she enjoys. She started spending as much time as possible with her family. Kelsey also lost two beloved family members, “Nannie” and “Papa J,” and watched as a fire damaged her house. Kelsey explains that these experiences have affected her both spiritually and emotionally.
