I have known John since we were friends living in the city on sherman street.He moved to henrietta and i used to stay at his house on weekends.This is where he met SUE she lived down the street.Sending my prayers to you SUE.
To the entire Kelly Clan,
Our hearts are heavy along with yours. A man who valued the important and from whom I never heard an unkind word. May you find comfort and peace knowing that John has his eternal reward. As you walk through your grief know that many are praying for you. Be comforted in the knowledge that he is now with Jesus. Rest in Peace, brother.
You were “Pops” to me when I really didn’t have one. You gave the best hugs and had a wonderful laugh. My heart goes out to Sue and the entire Kelly family. Love Heather ??
Sad to hear of John’s passing
What a wonderful man! One always felt more joyful after spending time with John. To Sue and family, our hearts hurt with yours. I’m a little bit jealous that John gets to see Tom again before I do.
So much love,
Barb
Sending our thoughts and prayers to all of you. John was always a kind good man. We will carry you all in our hearts.
