I, too, feel that I must leave a post for my dear friend, Dave
Kelly, known as Thee Kellyaga, to honor his memory. I knew of
Kellyaga thru my husband, Jody Calabrese, when he would talk about
him to me... BUT I first met him personally via email, to ask
him to attend my husband's 40th birthday party back in 2006...
I still have his email replies and will always keep them. What
a man! When I picked him up at the airport back in August of 06...
I must say he was the most interesting man that I have ever met!
Not only did we have some real good conversations on many topics
of BOTH our interests, but he made me laugh! Just being with him
on that ride back to our hometown... I knew he was a special person...
a ONE-OF-A-KIND! He spent the whole next day and night at our
home... helping us celebrate my husband's birthday! HE WAS THE
LIFE OF THE PARTY!! I will always cherish that day! Since that
time... I have spoken to him by phone MANY times.... the most
recent was only a few weeks ago.... He always had a way to make
me smile... even over the phone! He always cared about how our
kids were.... Zeph, our son, and our triplet little girls... or
the "BUMPER CAR GIRLS" as he liked to call them! LOL
He most recently spoke of his beautiful Jettie... and how much
he loved her! We were so happy for him... my condolences go out
to his beloved!
Kellyaga, I did not get to know you as well as I would have liked...
but I feel very fortunate to know you as much as I did! You ALWAYS
had inspirational words for me when we spoke on the phone and
you always made me feel like I was so special and Blessed! Thank
you for that! There are not many friends that do that in this
world we live in today! You will be missed greatly in the Calabrese
household! We love you!
