Frank McNeil wrote a sympathy message

“I had the pleasure and honor to meet Mrs. Kelly this past Mother's Day when I was invited over to the hose for breakfast. I could tell how much she was loved by all her children and grandchildren by the way they went right to her to wish her a happy Mother's Day. As I was leaving, she asked me to offer a prayer and blessing and I was humbled to do so. May she rest in peace in the arms of God and in the company of the angels and saints, especially St. Ann and our Blessed Mother.”
