If possible, if the people at the funeral home could maybe contact Kelly Hutchins and tell her that Jeff would really like to say hi. I haven't seen her in 28 years, we were both kids, well I was a kid, she managed to look like a full grown woman at like 16. My number is 289-239-5519

Too the family, I'm sorry about my dad and what he did, but I really did love being with Debbie for the two years I spent there for the summers. I'm hoping that you call and say hi Kelly. It'd be nice to see someone back from that period of my life, when I was really happy. Well most of the time, I remember we argued a lot too.....lol. I remember you had to grow up too quickly. I hope I hear from you.

My father dated Debbie back in 97 when she lived in willowdale. Unfortunately what he did was shameful, he passed away as well. But Debbie was awesome, I remember crying when I seen her. She was every bit a mom to me as her own daughter. Hi Kelly I hope you see this. I seen Travis, and he gave me information. I hope your well. Ken died. Maybe some time if you ever see this, we can have a coffee. Id like to see you. I hear you have a bunch of kids now. I miss your mom, she was more of a mom to me then my own in a way. I'm sorry to find out her passing, I sure would have liked to see her again.
