Hello, my name is Lynn Kelley. I am so sorry for your loss. I met Art shortly after his wife Alice passed away. He was "visiting" with Alice and I was "visiting" my son Cameron. He would come and have lunch with her every day between 11 and noon. I noticed over the years that things were changing for him. He used to walk to the gravesite. Then he used a cane, a walker and then he would sit in his van and eat his lunch. I believe the last time I saw him was Jan 24th. My family and I were there leaving flowers and balloons for Cameron's birthday. Art was the nicest man! He sure loved his Alice. I usually take my weed eater with me to trim up the head stones and leave the little solar lights. I started doing this for Art a few years back and will continue. I hadn't been to the cemetery since Jan. I was saddened to realize today that his year is now on the headstone, too. I will miss seeing him but, will visit him when I'm there. Lynn
