My Dearest Keely,
When you were born, I�ve always felt that it was my responsibility to teach you the important things in life, but as I reflect, I find that it was you who taught me. You taught me to love unconditionally without reservation; you taught me that it is more important to give than to receive, even when all you can afford to give is a smile or a kind word; you taught me that if we look hard enough, we find good in everyone we meet, even those whom we consider to be the most undesirable; you taught me that we all deserve second chances, no matter the mistake; you taught me to forgive, when all I wanted to do was hate; you taught me that life is too short to waste on grudges; you taught me patience, when all I wanted was to hurry; you taught me that love is the most important thing that we share with others. You have become my most important teacher.
I find it ironic that such a short life has left such a legacy. Your death has left such a big emptiness in so many hearts, but your life, your joy, your laughter and your smiles are big enough to fill that void. This is nothing short of miraculous.
You have caused me much grief and heartache both in life and in death, but I would not give up all the pain in exchange for the joy you have brought to me and so many countless others.
I will miss you terribly now that you are gone, but I will always remember you for the love you gave so selflessly. Your heart was simply too big for this world and God needed you more than we do.
Keely, I love you and forgive you. I will try to live the life that will lead me to Heaven to someday be with you again.

Until then, know that you will always be in my heart soothing the emptiness and the sorrow,
Love,
Dad

I will always remember Keely's sparkling eyes and inquisitive nature. What a delightful child, we had so much fun making Christmas ornaments out of popsickle sticks, baking cookies and painting each others nails when she was little. I can't imagine thinking of Keely without smiling. My sincere condolences to all who feel the loss of her passing.

Our deepest sympathy, from my family to yours. No words can properly convey a condolance during the loss of a child. All parents grieve with you and your family, John.

So, Keely, although I didn't know you personally, but do know your dear Dad, I'm sure we'll meet on the shore of that Crystal Sea, in Heaven, that is made up of all the tears that have been shed upon this earth, including those shed for you.

So, it's not good bye, but, we'll see you there! Save us a place at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

Blessings and comfort in Jesus,

Although I didn't know Keely well (her dad and my dad are friends) I wanted to express our deepest sympathies to her family. She is an angel in heaven now, and will always be able to watch over the ones she loved, and that loved her.
