Uncle Dana:
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
You will be forever missed.
Brian, Kristin & David & the Kelly Family: Stay strong, much love & prayers to you all.
