Kelly’s old friend, Annie K. Lee, while mourning the death wrote on Facebook, ‘I still remember hugging Kious on graduation day. I am at a loss for words and cannot even begin to describe how sorry I am, that the world has lost a flame as bright as you, in this unforgiving Coronavirus worldwide pandemic.’

Lee made an immediate appeal to the public to help community staff and wrote: ‘GIVE your unnecessarily stocked masks, N95s, N99s, gloves, isolation gowns, and Medical Protective Gear to your local hospitals.’
