I remember how sweet and kind Mr. and Mrs. Kelly were each time we visited in the Perpetual Adoration Chapel at Most Pure Heart over the years. May he rest in God's loving arms.

Ma, Mary, Pat, Jim and Suz:

Leo (Pa Kelly) was my second dad through our high school and college years. He was always quick with a smile or a joke, volunteering alongside all of us at REACH, and always looking out for us (like pulling our cars out of the mud). I have never forgotten his kindness and good spirit. I am certain he is in a comfortable place, kicking back and beaming with pride at his family. Love and blessings, "Etz" and Pat

Mrs Kelly, Mary and the rest of the Kelly family,

I have always admired Mr Kelly for his love of God, family and country. I have known him my entire life, but have especially appreciated the time I've spent with him on Sundays at the Atria. He is definitely one in which to model your Faith.

Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithfully departed through the mercy of God rest in peace, Amen.

You are loved and missed, Razmalowsky.

Please accept our deepest sympathies from the entire Landry family.
