A celebration of life will be held for Kelly on Saturday January 24[SUP]th[/SUP] starting at 1:30 pm at Dovercourt Community Hall – 13510 Dovercourt(123) Avenue.
Kelly will be piped into the hall at 2. So, it would be nice if everyone were seated with a drink in hand before then.
Speaking of drink… Everyone’s first drink is on the house – of course it *should* be rum, but that is not a requirement. After that there will be a cash bar. After Kelly is piped into the hall, we are going to have a toast.
We will be sharing stories – both the kind that make you laugh and the kind that touch your heart. So, please think some and if you have a story to share Roberta would very much like you to do so. If you can’t muster the courage to get up and tell everyone yourself, then write out your story and Roberta will try to make time for someone else to read it. I’m pretty darn sure there are more stories than there is time to share them all, but if nothing else the ones that are written can be gathered up for the family to enjoy for many years to come.
The ‘formal’ part of the celebration will last about 1 or 1.5 hours. After that there will be food and a party. The microphone will be kept open so people can still tell stories, or you can all just share them amongst yourselves. Roberta is going to set the liquor permit for as long as she can, so feel free to stay and celebrate.
Kelly loved to laugh and he sure loved to socialize. Please come and share in giving him one hell of a final send off.
Roberta asks that if you feel you would like to make a donation in Kelly’s honor, they are particularly fond of these organizations: The Cross Cancer Institute, The Canadian Red Cross HELPS program, any animal rescue society, A blood donation to the Red Cross, The Environmental Health Association of Alberta, or any other charity that helps people better their lives or achieve their dreams.
