Kelly (aka Skipper), the time went to fast. The old gang is pretty much gone. Seems, just yesterday were hunting ducks, going fishing, taking a car apart or mostly, putting one back together, drag races and much more. Condolences to you family and I'll see you bye 'n bye. A. Mayo
I am grieving with you Dawn...and you Caroline....Kelly and I were friends since second grade....we played together for years and remained life long friends....he was one of a kind for his whole life...you will be missed Kelly..always...thanks for each and every memory...also as I told you many times...you were one of my favorite dance partners...because you were an awesome dancer❤️
Dear Kelly, you left us too soon. I've known you since we were 5 years old and you were one of my favorite playmates in grade school. I guess we played every day together along with Bully and Stevie Graeter and Jean Hughes. The 5 of us had some great times together. You boys never treated me any differently than you treated each other. Ya'll let me be" one of you". I love you and always will. I pray that you are resting in the arms of Jesus.
Dear Dawn, I pray that your grief will diminish soon and you can remember only the good times with Kelly. May you find peace in this crazy world and comfort from your family and friends.
Love,
Patricia Roberts Wood Edmondson.
It was my privilege to know Kelly since our days at Longview Junior High School. In recent years, I have enjoyed visiting with him at reunions of the Class of '57. He was a real gentleman, and I feel lucky to be able to call him my friend. He will be missed. Rex King
Kelly was one of my best friends in Foster Jr High & Longview High. Loved him. Gone too soon. Dawn had my deepest sympathy. Love to her. Sherry DeOlive Lawrence
