==Personality==
Kelly had quite a bubbly personality. She had a liking for the Strawberry Shortcake series, liked to draw, and played the piano. She also had a particular fondness for horses, earning her the nickname Sergeant Reckless as a young girl.
She buried a time capsule in her backyard for Jethro Gibbs with several important objects to her in it.
There was a hand drawing her and Maddie Tyler made together in Kindergarten, a small wooden horse that she’s painted herself, homemade friendship bracelets she and Maddie made, a fortune teller, and two polly pocket toys she was fond of. There was also a photo taken of Kelly and Maddie out on the porch during one summer, and a best buddies drawing. 
Kelly had also drawn a family portrait. A five-year-old Kelly was middle, holding the hands of her parents on either side. Gibbs was dressed in his cammies.
There was also a yellow ribbon that had been handed out at Kelly’s school in an effort to show support to those kids who’s parents were being deployed - like Gibbs - to fight in Gulf war. Moreover, there was also the set of child-sized dog tags labelled “Kelly” and “Daddy” that she’d been given by her father when she was four years old. Kelly had rarely taken them off before putting them in the time capsule.
Lastly, there was a handwritten note. 
Dear Daddy,
I love you so much. I buried this so we could open it together when I get older. I miss you.
Love, Kelly ❤️
Gibbs never opened the time capsule instead deciding to rebury it, however; the contents were shared on the CBS website.
