Steve Kelly Dear Elsie , Cindy, Trudy and Karen,
Jim was a wonderful person and had a unique personality. As a child growing up in Quispamsis, I found Uncle Jim had a teasing style of humor that was different. However, as I grew older I realized that behind that comedy was a sincere, loving father and husband, who would do anything for his family. He was passionate about the things he loved and was a friend to everyone. You all were so lucky to have him in your lives! Sincerest wishes that the peace and love of God be with you all during these difficult times. – Stephen (Stevie) Kelly

We are so glad you stayed overnight with us this summer, Elsie, and shared dinner and the evening with us – that is a special memory. Miles separate us, but not our family connections and our memories. He has left behind a beautiful legacy – your wonderful family!

I’ll see you again someday in heaven because I know the Lord is taking great care of you. PS. Try not to give God to much hassle in the mean time, he might not have the same sense of humor as us.
