    So, Those Who Believe In Jesus Know That This World Is Not Our Home. Those Who Believe In Jesus, Know That He Is The Ressurection And The Life. Life Eternal With Him, Absent From This World Of Turmoil And Grief. Those Who Believe Do Not Grieve As Others, Because We Believe The Promises Of God, Through His Gift, Of His Only Begotten Son, Jesus; To Live And Reign With God, In His Presence Forever, In Our Imortal Bodies. Kelly Jean Believed!
    And So This Is Not Goodbye, But Rather, See See You Later.
    Family And Friends, Keep Memories Alive In Your Heart And Think Of Kelly Jean Often.
