Bro Art and family,

On behalf of all the Kelley family (and Case and Bejsovec), I just want you to know that you are in our prayers through this time. Evelyn truly lived the scripture "A merry heart", she could really make me laugh. I loved her accent and tried to imitate it, but you can't touch the original! It's always hard for those of us left behind here, but to know she is well again and with her Heavenly Father is a comfort. I know He said "Well done, my good and faithful servant" when she arrived. I read in a book once, that God applauds when a child of His, comes home cause He is so happy to see them. Can you imagine, Almighty God standing there applauding your arrival? What a welcome! I have no doubt, Evelyn got a standing ovation!



We love you,

Steve, Edna, Greg, Merissa, Allison, Tom, Dallas, Ryan and Christian

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and I know the sadness you are feeling but I know too that you have a strong faith and it is very important to lean on that at this time. Be strong for your loved ones and help them remember the good times that your family has shared. And don't forget that your Mom has joined the peace and comfort of her Heavenly Home and will continue to live in your heart. God will be there for you so just ask for what you need. God bless you and your family. Let me know if you need anything (a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on).

This was "Nanny" to my family. Kind and loving, she was always available to offer encouragement and a prayer. Deepest sympathies to her family and friends. She will be sadly missed and never forgotten.
