Kelly Was A Good Guy Will Be Missed
I was so sad to hear of kellys passing. So many great times as kids. From motorcycles, mini bikes and hours of football and baseball.Kellys smile and laugh was one of a kind. So kind and sweet by nature Im sure he only got better with time.I still think back and hear the words ” Saasy where’s your assy ” and laugh every time. Thinking of all of you in the time and keeping you all in prayer. Rest in knowing that one day when we are all in the kingdom Kelly will be there to grab your hands and say ” let me show you around”.
Our prayers go out to Kelly’s family.
Doreen, Brad, Ryan and family
I read this poem (Anon) for my brother Dennis when he passed to God in 2001.
Hoping it might help even a little.
I will continue to pray that the angel’s will surround you with love and comfort

Don’t Grieve For Me For Now I’m Free
Don’t grieve for me now I’m free
I’m following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call;
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I found that place at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared a laugh, a kiss;
Ah yes, these things, I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much;
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seems all to brief;
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.

Blackie and family, I am so sorry to hear of Kelly’s passing. May you find peace and comfort in the knowledge that he is at peace in heaven above. God bless you all.
I am so sorry to hear this about Kelly. My husband, Tom, will miss seeing him out on Lake Pulaski ice fishing. I will miss seeing Kelly’s little white truck going up and down the road and his friendly wave each time he would pass by with some kind of lumber or supply hanging out the back of his truck. He always had a project going on at his house. He will be missed!
