I felt compelled to offer my deepest sympathy to the Kelley family. God never makes a mistake and we dont always understand his ways. But what I do know is that He will be your comfort and refuge in the times of trouble. My prayer is that Terrence had peace with God. You're in my thoughts and prayers

To the Kelly Family: I didn't know "TK". But I want to dedicate this song to his family & Friends......... The battle is the Lords by Yolonda Adams
There is no pain Jesus can't feel
No hurt He can not heal
All things work according to His perfect will
No matter what you're going through
Remember God is using You
For the battle is not yours
It's the Lord's
There's no sadness Jesus can't feel
And there is no sorrow
that He can not heal
For all things work
according to the Master's holy will
No matter what you're going through
Remember that God is only using You
For the battle is not yours
It's the Lord's
It's the Lord's
Yes It's the Lord's
Hold your head up high
Don't you fright
It's the Lord's
It's the Lord's
Yes It's the Lord's
No matter what
You're going through
Remember that God
Only wants to use you
For the battle is not yours
It's the Lord's
No matter what
You happen to go through right now
Remember that in the midst of it all
God only wants to use you
No matter what you're going through
For the battle is not yours
It's the Lord's
No matter what it is
That you're going through
Hold your head up, stick your chest out
And remember He's using you
No matter what you're going through
God is only using you
For this battle is not yours alone
This battle is not yours, no
You can not handle it all by yourself
No, no, no, no, no, no
It's not yours
This battle is not yours
It's the Lord's, not yours
This battle is not yours
The Lord is the only one who can fight it
He wants to use you as His vessel
So be open to Him
It's not yours
No It's not yours
It's the Lord's, not yours
The battle is not your's
It's the Lord's

T.K. from the moment I saw you play ball I knew you were something special. You always displayed compassion for life you will be remembered as an honorable young man and spartan. It was a pleasure to be in your presence each day I saw you play. I know you are looking down on us right now and we will always feel you in our hearts forever. God Bless you T.K. Remember "God is a Spartan" too!

To the Kelley Family & Friends -- Our thoughts & prayers are with you. We didn't know Terrence but feel proud that he was a young man taking strides in the right direction. We may not understand why he wasn't granted a continuing life on earth, but God must have needed him for an eternal mission. Keep God first in your lives & you'll see Terrence again!

I would like to send my condolences to the Kelley family. No family should have to go through what you all are going through. I did not know T.K. but I live in Richmond and all to often it seems like the people who try the hardest and succeed are the ones that are taken away from us. I am so sorry for your loss. May god bless your family. Please stay strong T.K. is with our lord.

My prayers go out to the Kelley family. I didn't know "TK" but I felt like I did from all I've heard about him. He seemed to be a very outstanding young man and he will be greatly missed.

I have never met Terrance, nor have I ever met his friends or family, but as a person, I wish to express my deepest sympathy. This young man had so much promise, I know his family and friends are very proud. Good young men are a reflection of their upbringing. There are not many young men these days that graduate from high school, but to have such as god given talent to earn a football scholarship to such a great school, is totally commendable. I just want to thank god and his family for providing this earth with such an angel. May god bless you and keep you. Rest in peace Terrance.

To the family of Terrence Kelly:
I am sorry to hear of your loss. I met Terrence two years ago around this time in a Biology summer school course at Salesian high school. He attracted my attention because he was quieter and seemed more mature than the rest of the class. Sooner or later we and engaged in conversation, he commended my focus in the class. I easily gave him some compliments in return. We talked about our schools, his De La Salle and mine St. Mary’s College HS. We went on to have a mutual liking and respect for each other. Later on, earlier this year I met him again at El Cerrito High School where we were both taking the SAT exam for college. He recognized me, smiled and we talked of college excitement and our nervousness over the exam. He wished me well, I did the same and we parted. I did not know Terrence closely, but his encounters always cheered me up; and although our encounters were brief and infrequent--from time to time I would think back on him with great fondness. He was a bright, attractive good person; an all around wonderful young man. He is missed.

To the Kelly Family my prayers are with you. I had the fortunate experience of knowing Terrance he was a wonderful young man and you should take pride in knowing that he touch so many people lives in his short time on earth. He was one baseball player who helped me get through the death of my own son if it wasn't for me being able to go an see them play each summer I don't know what would have happened to me. Terrance was definitely respectful to everyone and so humble. Landron and Mrs.Bev. take pride in knowing you both raised a wonderful young man. Please lean on the community for support because we are their for both of you in your time of need.
