Letters | Lynnettee and Kaylene Keller’s promise lives on


October 1, 2012 · 3:45 PM

I wanted to pass along our thanks, on behalf of the Rocha family, for such a great article (New promise from lives cut short: Scholarship honors murder victims Lynnettee and Kaylene Keller, Valley Record, July 18).

We have been actively circulating this article as the best representation of Lynnettee and Kaylene and why we decided to start the Scholarship fund. Thank you so much for taking to the time to speak with myself, my brother and Carson and for reporting on more than Peter or the tragedy.

We would ask for your assistance in your continued support to help us keep the word out on the scholarship fund.

Respectfully,

Kimberly Rocha-Pearson

• To ensure that the memory of North Bend murder victims Lynnettee and Kaylene Keller lives on, Lynnettee’s family established a scholarship fund in Kaylene’s name. The fund will help teens with interests similar to Kaylene, such as video game design. To learn more about the scholarship, visit www.seattlefoundation.org or www.kaylenesfund.com.
