Not sure what to say?

To the Kelley Family
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during your time of loss. May the cherished memories you have of Mr. Kelley comfort and sustain you always.

I can certainly tell what a fabulous sweet man Dan must have been just by my acquaintance with his caring and compasionate daughter Jeanne. She is apparently an example of his loving and caring of other people that carries on his legacy and gift of his sweet spirit. I am truly honored to know this family in any way.

God Bless You Dan Kelley. See you and Jesus some day. Until then I will pray for your sweet family.

I have to share this story with your family, one day my daughter called me and said, " mom I just met the sweetest, cutest, man ever!" I asked if he had a cane and glasses and she said "yes, how did you know?" I laughed and said thats Mr. Kelly Suzy"s dad. He was so loved , and our family is thinking and praying for you all! He will be greatly missed ! Susan and Colm Faherty

Dear Sweet Susie, My love and prayers to you and your family. I will miss all the conversations with your dad. He loved you all so much. He wasn't just the "candy man" to me; he always gave me dollar coins for my girls. What a special place he has in my heart. I will never forget your dads' kindnesses to me clear back in high school and college. Hugs and kisses from Christy Harris Thompson
