Livestrong


Our family remembers Kelly today....the always happy and smiling boy that was 
taken from us too soon...... 11/14/85 - 9/8/91



Kelly...mama's nephew...lost his battle before we were born, but the family has told us so much  about him that we feel we knew him also.  
He was diagnosed with Leukemia a couple months before his 3rd birthday.  He fought valiantly with radiation and chemo treatments for nearly 3 years  before losing his battle.....in all that time, he achieved remission once for a brief 6 week period.




We purray for a total cure for this terrible disease.

Sending many purrs and love to all,


SAS....Sammy Andy Shelly
and our mama Judi

How sad that Kelly did not have the chance to enjoy life for very long. I can tell by the photos that he was a very special, very strong spirited little boy. Purrs to you today.
