Dear Kelly Family,
I am so sorry for the loss. I worked with the wrestling team for 4 years from 1996-2000. "Coach Kelly" was such a kind, giving man. He made those 4 years at MHS fun and exciting. He is greatly missed.

I went to MHS from 1998-2002, and wanted to express my sympathy to the Kelly family. I did not know Coach Kelly personally, but a lot of my friends did. I know he was well liked among the students, which can be a tough accomplishment in high school. I'm sorry for your loss.

I am very sorry for your loss. I had the honor of working with "Big Mike" while with the Macon Knights. We lived together this past season and granted that the sitution in Macon was less then favotable it was none the less a fun time being around Mike. I shall always remember our late night conversations about football and about life. He cared for the both of you very much, mentioning you every night. I will not forget him.
