Kelly: (John & Kelly released the following statement thanking people from Florida for their support after their son Jett died) The enormous amount of love, support and condolence we have received from this community has been most humbling. Comforting words, thoughts and prayers of Ocala's citizens have made an impossibly painful situation a little less painful.
Kelly: (following the tragic death of their son Jett in 2009, John & Kelly released the following statement) Jett lit up the lives of everyone he encountered. We are heartbroken that our time with him was so brief. We will cherish the time that we had with him for the rest of our lives.
Kelly: I've wanted to have babies since I was 11. I always babysat. I was making thousands and thousands of dollars doing commercials and still babysitting for $2.50 an hour. Children are our future--literally. It's such a cliche, but it's so true.
