Dear Jerry & Phillis & family,
So sorry to hear of Kelly’s death. Although I have not seen him for many years I have fond memories of him as a child and teenager. I know her will be greatly missed by all of you.

Our sincere, heartfelt sympathy to all of Kelly’s family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
I am so sorry I will not make it to the funeral home on Sunday evening. We have plans with our son and his family. I wanted you all to know how deeply sorry I am for your loss. I remember Kelly as quiet in school. He was a good worker I know as I would see him from time to time at Shane Hill working on our ice machine or something else.
I have notified as many of our class as I could. Hopefully some will make it or send condolences.
Again my deepest sympathies to all of his family and friends.
To the Kelly Now family,
My sincere condolences in the loss of your son and brother. He will be missed.
