I'm sorry for your loss. I hope the Kelley family will draw comfort from the words found at Psalm 145:18.

To the family, I am sorry to hear the news about your loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain your family during this challenging time. Isaiah 61:1,2

My deepest sympathy to the entire Kelley family. I will always have very warm memories of Uncle Dave. He had such a way of keeping you enthralled when he was telling a story. And no one had a more genuine laugh! As a child he would take us kids to his bench and tell us all about the rocks he collected. It was so interesting. He loved his family and let them know it. My heart goes out to my cousins, Jeanne, Pam, Sally, Donna and Carol. You are in our thought and prayers. See you in April. Love always, Ruth (Crowell) Buxton
