Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family and we will greatly miss Kelly. It's comforting to know that we are thought of as part of the family and Kelly always made us feel that way.
During the celebration ceremony, Stan said something that put my mind at peace. Kelly is surely sitting with Jess playing cards! I always hated losing poker to him but he sure did make me laugh about it. We will miss you Kelly! (The Camp's)

There are no words that can make this any better but there is comfort in knowing that he is in a better place, free of pain, and able to be his free spirit. He will truly be missed by everyone who knew him and I agree that now Jess has his card playing partner and we have a new Angel watching over us. Our love and prayers to all of you at this very difficult time.

I was very saddened to hear of Kelly's passing. Although I had not seen Kelly in many years I have fond memories of our time in school together at Safford High. He had a great sense of humor and was an all around good guy. I would like to offer my heartfelt condolences to all of his family and friends.
