Remembering Kelli Bordeaux | Forensic Files

I just remember how competitive she was even though she was so much younger and so much smaller she always wanted to do
whatever we were doing so it was always like you know she was included it didn't
matter what it was really especially when it came to like racing me like a physical thing like come on I'm twice
your size but we she would raise either way like all right Kelly uh she excelled
at basically everything but she never would rub it in your face it was something that just came naturally she
was just like what do you mean yeah I got straight A and you're like I don't want to show Mom and Dad my report card
now like God making us all look bad Kel calm down well she was a combat medic so
I mean say you're having a ceremony soldiers will fall out from heat they just fall over so then the Medics come
and they pull them over to the sides of the ambulances and stuff and treat them and stuff for things like that I think
Kelly always wanted to help people we were able to live for her more or less I went deep sea fishing on our birthday
last year and it's not something that I would typically do but it was something that Kelly and I would have done
together and I was just like we're doing this for Kelly like it's her birthday we're celebrating still with Kelly and
so you do things like that or like something you're afraid to do my friends always oh well Kelly would have done it
cuz she was so Fearless just that vibrant personality that's what I miss not just like light up a room but just
like get everybody lit up you know like make everyone feel better so yeah I miss
that just being able to call her and Bs with her or run things by her and get advice from her I mean we did that a lot
it's just like hey what do you think if I did this and she's like really and I'm
like yeah yeah you're right what am I thinking like just simple things cuz it's just you've had her your whole life
so you always think oh I'll be able to talk to her again about it tomorrow like well we'll figure something out
