Buff,
Although we only spent a small part of our lives together in a country far from our homes, we made a bond that would last forever. Even though you are gone from this world, we will meet again.
Love you.
Your Brother

Kelly,
Thank you, for always being there. We had our difficulties but you were always there in all the bad times to help us all through. I will miss all of our debates on the Suns. They are going to win soon. Thank you for the memories.

Happy Birthday Kelly. I have wonderful thoughts of you. I pray that you are at peace and I'm glad that your body no longer suffers the pain of an earthly life. When I think of you I will always remember you with a kind and loving heart. God Bless you for coming into to my sister's life and consequently my life.
Love

My Dear Sweet Teddy Bear, I will so miss those huge bear hugs that I used to be so afraid would crush my ribs. I still feel them. I love you dear one. Carllene.

Kelly: My nephew & my friend,you left us so suddenly we had no chance to say goodby.Looking back down memory lane,when you were eight years old,visiting me in Calif.& you manged to get into the famous LaBrea tar pits.Then there were some gaps with my living out of state & your military time served.Not only my nephew,my confidant in adult life,& so we were able to fill those time gaps with long talks on my patio,many phone calls & many talks over lunch.WE both knew we could confide in each other,with the confidence that it would go no futher without permission.The kindness,love,respect, & devotion you showed to your grandparents,my sister/husband was deeply appreciated,& noted to you,by myself & my siblings.YOU WERE THE ROCK they counted on.At the same you were always there for others.My right arm as our nephew Josh was my left.The many hours you spent talking to me,& encouraging me at the time of his death.So my nephew reach out with that famous bear hug, & backrub,be sure to give one to each of those we love that is now with you.Kelly,you always thought you had so little to offer,but you were, & will remain many people:s HERO. Gruff has a bear but really as gentle as a lamb.I was able to watch you with nephews Josh,Randy,Casey,Frankie,Jason & nieces Atrina,Page,Brieanna,& others in the families.The love you showed to Shirley:s girls was the love of a father,& was noted by those who knew of your true love for the mother.Peace to you,& BLESSED REST.The void you leave is fillable only by your memory. Miss you BUD;;;UNCLE VERNON p.s. Kelly this is my second time writing this,the first copy was rejected,because uncle tried to use your famous phrase!

Sweet Kelly, I am so blessed to have known and loved you and shared so much of my life with you. Thank you for the love, the laughter, the kindness, the family time with my girls and me; the big warm teddy bear hugs, the joy in your voice and in your heart when you spoke to me, and of me. Thank you for your friendship, and for truly loving me. Thanks for so many beautiful memories. I loved to see the joy you felt when you and Summer played and you both laughed continuously, so carefree. I loved that me and my girls knew if we needed to be rescued, we could call on you and you would be there faithfully. I love the fact we were forever friends no matter what life had thrown in our way. I only wish you had seen all the beautiful things you gave when you thought you had nothing to offer me. I know you'll be there to meet me, but right now I miss you so very selfishly. You were my rock, and your hugs, your love were always a comfort and so special for me, your sweetness always calmed and encouraged me. I feel so lost without you being here for me. It has been two months since we last were together and your birthday is almost here, so I am hoping to give a present to your family and friends, pictures they may not have seen, a gift from you, some of our memories. Please know I will never forget you as I ask you to help me get this project finished! Please!! Kidding, My beautiful Kelly please rest in peace. Lord, thank you for the time with Kelly that you gave to me. Bless his heart and soul for all the kindness he showed to so many; people, bunnies and birds that joyfully he'd feed. Thank you dear Lord for the love he shared with me, with so many. Amen. Kelly I miss you always, Love you forever, Shirley

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I've known Kelly pretty much my entire life and he was basically like a father figure to me. I think of him often and miss him a lot. I miss his always smiling face and him drawing me pictures of yosemite sam :)

My condolences to the family. I have known Kelly since High School, but in the last couple of years reconnected with him once again. I'm glad I had the chance to rekindle our friendship before his passing. He will be missed especially his sense of humor, and easy going nature, he was one of a kind. He was a big teddy bear with a big caring heart.
