Arlyne Kelly Obituary

BILLINGS, Mont. < Arlyne Kelly, 82, formerly of Syracuse, passed away Sept. 6, 2008 at home, with her husband Robert by her side. Arlyne was born in Syracuse, and resided there most of her life. She was the daughter of the late Lysle and Jessie Dixon from Jamesville. Arlyne graduated from Eastwood High School and married Robert in November of 1946. Arylne worked at several firms throughout the Syracuse area, including Prosperity, GE and Agway before moving to Philadelphia where Bob and she lived for several years before heading to Montana. Arlyne worked at Albertson"s for about 17 years before retiring. Bob and Arylne did a bit of traveling before ill health forced them to stop. They have traveled back East to Auburn several times, Washington State, where her sons live, and several other states. She also enjoyed the flowers we sent or the ones planted in the yard. When she was younger she enjoyed sewing. Her family was her biggest joy. Arlyne left us to be with love ones who have already passed. She is predeceased by her infant son, Michael; grandson, William Jr.; son-in-law, John Musso; daughter-in-law, Patty Kelly; and nieces, Diane and Carol Dixon. She is survived by her husband of 61 years, Bob; her brother, Lysle and Betty Dixon, of Syracuse. She is also survived by daughter, Nancy A.

In lieu of flowers, please send contributions to Rocky Mountain Hospice, PO Box 35033, Billings, MT 59101. The angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God. < Quoted in the Angels" Little Instruction Book by Eileen Elias Freeman, 1994.

Arylne

Love you Mom

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

September 28, 2008

Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name,
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever. Amen.

--- Matthew 6:9-13 - KJV

Bob and family,

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name' sake.



Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: For thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou annointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.



Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.

Traditional Irish Blessing and Toast
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be ever at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And the rain fall softly on your fields
And until we meet again, May God hold
you in the hollow of his hand

We can't know why some things happen but we can know that love and beautiful memories outlast the pain of grief. And we can know that there's a place inside the heart where love lives always, and where nothing beautiful can ever be forgotten. If I have learned anything through the years, it is that nothing beautiful in this world is ever really lost, Those we cherish will always live on in our memory, with my sympathy, It was a great pleasure working with you guys! I'll always remember you, I have a lot of great memories, you guys always made me LAUGH
Love you guy's

Because love forever remains, the ones we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories do not fade because a loved one's gone. The ones we love can never be more than a thought apart, for as long as there is memory, they'll live on in the heart. Thinking of you with sympathy at this sad time. With sincere sadness for you and your family

Thinking of you in your time of sorrow, May it comfort you to know caring thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
Dear Nancy, I'm sorry about your mother - I know how hard losing your Mom is. There's days (still after a year and a half) when I pick up the phone ... and then it hits me that I can't call her. Time helps the hurt lesson but not the missing part.
Hang in there - I've been praying for you for some peace. For me, I couldn't turn off the constant thoughts for quite a while.
