Thinking of you Michael, Darren and Jeff! Sending hugs from Alberta on behalf of myself and my dad who loved his brother immensely. Come Fathers Day, I will be with my Dad and wishing sincerely that you could be with yours. We can't keep them forever, and we must believe we will join them again one day. Buddy is going straight to heaven, so we better work hard to pave our own path to be in his presence when our reward is realized. I know my brother Sean is there happy to see another Kelly - while sad that there are those that feel such a great loss. Sean always enjoyed time with Uncle Bud. My view of heaven may seem strange to some, as I picture Nanny Retie ready with some yummy Mac and Cheese! She was always so proud of him, right down to showing off the dents in her linoleum floor from the baseball teams cleats. How I loved being with Nanny at Agricola Str1eet, and hearing the stories of the days on the Commons, and sitting in the porch. I never got tired of hearing about Buddy (my uncle) and Ken (my father). I cherish a letter I have from Uncle Bud, written in recent years, because he calls me his favourite niece! Of course I was the only neice he had, but that didn't matter. He had a way of making people feel important and loved. Memories of Halifax include times at Queensland Beach, oh so long ago! I know that my uncle was one that made an impact on so many lives from his early baseball years through his successful real estate career and on the golf course. He is gone but not forgotten! We have been thinking of you all .... MUCH LOVE is sent your way from Lisa Marie (Kelly) Wood and Kenneth Michael (2nd Generation "PUPPER") Kelly.
