Grandpa Ray Kelly passed away on October 29, 2012. It was hard to decide if Jeremy should go alone to the funeral or if we all should go, because of the length of time travelling to Reno would take. We didn't know if the kids could handle it. But we both feel strongly that funerals are an important time for family, so if at all possible, we want to be there. The kids actually did incredibly well. It was a special time and we were thankful to be able to go. I learned a lot about Grandpa and my love grew for him. Jeremy has memories of Grandpa when he was a younger man and that is a true blessing. The memories will comfort us until we can meet him again in heaven.
Grandma looked beautiful at the funeral and was a true example of faith and courage. We are blessed to come from such good people. I am so glad to know that we will live with our loved ones again.

| Grandma Kelly was signing the cars Grandpa painted. He did this as a service. The cars go to children in need. We each got to choose a car to keep and remember him by. |
