Robert James Kelley

Do Bob's family , I am so sorry for your loss .
Though I only knew Bob for less than a year, I considered him a close friend. I was asked by our Priest to bring him the Eucharist weekly. I looked forward to our visits every Sunday. He ministered to me and brought me closer to God. I consider him a wonderful and dear friend. He will be in my prayers, may he rest in peace.

Bob was a cherished friend for 15 years. Although we did not see each other often we stayed in touch.
His family was his life. His three beautiful daughters and eight grandchildren ( yes I know each of you by name) he loved you more than words can express. Each of you so special in your own way.
We spoke often about our children and grandchildren, politics and religion, his brother and cousin.
We did not always agree but agreed to disagree.
He helped me through some difficult times always leading me back to our faith. One of the last things he said to me was," My Jesus is with me".
Kind of says it all.
I will miss him, his knowledge, his wisdom and compassion, his silly jokes, some that went right over my head, but mostly his smile. It was the best.
My deepest sympathies to all of you.
He will always be with you. Just sit quietly and listen and you will hear him.

PS. His obituary was beautifully written. Thank you for sharing.
