My heartfelt condolences are offered to the family, many, many friends, colleagues and devoted fans for the Nelons and the other families in this terrible tragedy. Seven people were killed in a Wyoming plane crash on Friday, July 26, 2024, including three members of the Gospel Music Hall of Fame group the Nelons: Kelly Nelon Clark, Jason Clark, and Amber Nelon Kistler. Let us pray there comes a time no one will have to lose their lives due to any accidents of any kind. They were greatly admired by many fellow artists and all those who knew them. May the love and many, many special memories you shared with your devoted loved ones show how much your life was touched by them. May the God of comfort bless your grieving hearts with strength, loving kindness and peace as the world copes with the loss of these families. May family, friends and extended family cherish their memories.

I feel such a close connection to Kelly Nelon Clark, because she sang with such sincere, earnest love for my Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ, and we are lovingly sheltered together in His eternal family. So grateful for the music and the precious family life shared with so many. We love you.

What a precious family. They all will be so missed by each and every songwriter and singer. I grew up listening to the kneelings ever since I was just a small child and they were a wonderful family. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you. You are now singing in the Heavenly Choir.

I´ve seen her sing since I was a child. I remember her dad and our good friend Karen peck joining them. I was watching say yes to the dress a few years ago and she was on there with her daughter amber. My daughter grew up listening to Ambers little girl recordings. They will be missed. So talented.

I grew up watching Gospel Jubilee on Sunday mornings while getting ready for church. I have kept up with them since her father passed away and she took over. They have been a blessing to me for all these years. My condolences go out to Autumn and Todd. I am praying for them and the Gospel friends. She will be missed but we will see her again.

I love this family and their music. My nephew, Jack Smith, was growing up with your daughter, and they would play together at each concert. I am so sorry for this family that is left here what a terrible loss. Our prayers go out to them. We know where Kelly and crew are at, thank God for that.

I am so shocked to hear about Kelly, I followed the Nelons on radio through the years and I myself had sang several of their songs. I am going to miss them singing so much. Sincerely Grady O'Neal from Pine Ridge SC
