I am so very sorry for your loss. Mrs. Kelly was my 7th grade teacher at Holy Family Elementary. She was one of my favorites, she was so very loved and will be dearly missed

Mrs. Kelly taught me at Holy Family. She was a very sweet lady. I only have fond memories of her and hope she lived a happy life pouring herself out for others.
