Fond Memories
Will and I have many fond memories of Kelly. We both loved working with Kelly while we were at Johnson! He always made the time pass quickly at work with his lively spirit. Will recalls many theological talks with Kelly. He also remembers how patient Kelly was with him as they made repairs all over campus. The time he took to teach Will how to repair his car was also one of Will's best memories. Kelly could have just done the repair but it was important to Kelly that he could teach Will how to fix it so he would know in the future. I, Jess, remember how much Kelly thoroughly enjoyed life. I loved Kelly's ability to push the envelope and to explore new topics. He was always ready for an adventure.
We both enjoyed spending time with Kelly and Wendy as a couple.These two have had a huge impact on our lives as a couple. They mentored us before we were married, and tried to teach Will and I to love each other unconditionally, and to show Christ in our relationship. They helped to set a good example for us in how to talk with each other and how to treat each other with a mutual respect and trust that we still strive to maintain today. Wendy and Kelly always made time for us! They were and still are our family. We love you both.
Kelly, you will truly be missed but we know for sure that you are living it up in Heaven as we speak. Here's to you, Kelly, and the great guy you were to all of us. You truly showed us what it was like to walk with Christ.
With Love,
Will and Jess Smith
