Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. I will have the family in my thoughts and prayers . I was privileged and honored to be able to have performed with Kelly who was the best (and most solid) rhythm guitar player I have known as well as a great friend. He was considered to be a member of our family as well and will be greatly missed.

  2. So very sorry for your loss. I smile thinking of a day at the lake house when Kelly was full of life wanting to dance. I saw so much of Hal that day and where that twinkle in his eyes came from in the love of dancing and music. Praying for all the memories to fill your hearts to heal you from your pain. Love you.
