My dear brother you don´t know how much your passing has broken my heart . We had so many plans for the future, so many things we were to do. I saw you grow weaker everyday and I saw you getting tired and unable to speak...still I asked you to stay and fight the course. You tried but God knew what was best. I know you are at peace and healed... thank you for protecting me, loving me, teasing me, gifting me with your love.
Love always until we meet again

Condolences to the Kelly family. I know that we are never ready for a love loss, but God is never wrong with his decision, and he never give us no more than we can handle. May God give the family the strength they need.
