Jackie I'm sorry for your loss and can't even imagine what its like to be without the one you have loved for nearly 30 years. I just met your husband a couple weeks before his death but just from that short time he seemed like a really caring and loving person, hang in there and God bless

To all our family and friends,

Thank you for all your help and support, it is greatly appreciated and needed.

For 30 years Kelly was my best friend, lover and soul mate. I miss him each and every day, however I have many wonderful memories. Kelly will always be in my heart and soul until the day I join him in heaven.

Kelly will never be forgotten but will live on in his children, Jason(krissi) and Tracy and his grandchildren, Brianna and Nathan. And his name will live on with the birth of his grandchild, baby Kelly due in December.

His memory will be in our hearts forever.

Love, Jackie

Hey Kelly, I am not talking to any computer. I am talking to you and I know you know I am. Kelly keep flashing the lights and don't stop doing the crazy things you have been doing to ALL of us!!!! It helps us to know your close in spirit and that your okay. I also know you finally got to see the seven lakes where you promised to come visit and do some major fishing. The next time I go fishing I'll feel your hands on mine and the reel, and the one we catch I'll mount it on the wall next to your picture.



You know how much we all miss you.... and remember the talk we had on the porch at Moe's......... I will never forget and Kelly thank you for calling me on my birthday.



We all miss you and untill were with you again keep visiting.



Love,



Cindy

Jackie and Family,



I would like to express my deepest sympathies and apologize that I could not be there for services.



Kelly was a one of a kind good guy, one of my favorites to see after work having a cold one. It was always a pleasure to see and talk to Kelly and when he would come in with his beloved Jackie you appreciated the family man that he was.



It was fitting and in a way comforting for me to read he passed peacefully at home with his family because we all know that is where Kelly truly found peace.



May God bless you all and I smile in his memory.

To the West families and everyone that knew and loved Kelly:

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.



"The tide recedes but leaves behind

bright seashells on the sand,

The sun goes down, but gentle warmth

still lingers on the land,

The music stops,and yet it echoes on in sweet refrains...

For every joy that passes,

something beautiful remains."

Love always,

Jason, Krissi, Nathan

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.
