To the entire Kelly family,
My sincere and heartfealt condolences go out to all of you. I know words cannot truly express, but I pray that the words of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ give you comfort. John 11:25 Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies;"
