Patrick J Kelly

Hey there Pat, just got a beautiful tattoo for you that stace drew. I had the urge to watch the Giants Super Bowl game again when I got home after that.  I find it so hard now to write this, it almost makes me laugh. I remember how many times I told you not to punch things and be so upset over Dad dying and how I would be so pissed I would just punch anything,now I sit here trying not to be so overwhelmed with anger,  but I feel relaxed as I write this to you, because I know you and Dad are together watching out for us.  I gotta say I can't listen to the Jerky Boys anymore, even though I had heard them many years before you, they will always remind me of our trips to stacy's house and how we would still laugh the same way every time we heard them. Hey, I'll give you that pool game we played on March 14th for your birthday, I'll still kick your ass at darts!  I  know we have alot of family up there with you, but my heart is so broken over losing you, I 'm still having trouble believing it, but I  find strength in my memories of you and the awesome stories I have from knowing you.  It's gonna be a long, extremely hard road without you, but my memories and the great stories of others  about you make it easier.  I know you had many friends, but I was completely taken  a back about how many people came up to see you. Brother, you are one in a million, actually you are a mold that was broken and never to be made again. I love you more than you know, I miss you more than I  think I can take sometimes, but I know you'll be with me forever.   I love you forever bro, Joey.      P.S.  I promise not to ever give up on the Giants, no matter what, you taught me that.   

I still can't believe your gone.  The past few months have felt like a horrible nightmare.  I think of you everyday and would do anything to have you back, I miss our talks and you making me laugh.  I miss hanging out with you having a few drinks and just listening to each other.  You and I grew so close and shared so much.  I feel lost without you. But I know that I have to go on and keep remembering all our good times.  You made all of us laugh even with your corny jokes. Our family vacations will never be the same without you. But we will continue to remember and talk about you.  You will forever be in our hearts and minds.  I know your in a great place and your with dad.  Thats what keeps me going.  You and dad are our angels and who could ask for two better ones.  You guys must be such a pair together!  The jokes and pranks that you two must be doing, I can't even imagine.

I know that you will always be around us in spirit. And I know that you want us all to try to keep laughing and telling jokes.  So I will do that.  You will forever be in my heart, thoughts, and stories.

I LOVE AND MISS YOU MORE THAN I CAN SAY. REST IN PEACE.

Where to begin, there are just so many memories of good times but it is so difficult still to grasp the fact that all good times have already been had and that You will not be part of our future. I know I have to start celebrating the times we had and not drowning in the loss. Some of favorite memories were watching you play baseball at PS81 and Kelly Field, you were so intense when it came to doing well, It is amazing how many similarities I see in Dylan's personality that remind me of you. That is probably why I always called you Dyl and him Pat. 

I can go on and on from our first big trip to Myrtle Beach and how many laughs we had there. The great times in OBX and the many trips to my house. I will miss most, the little things, like just sitting on the deck with you a talking, Enjoying your hysterical stories and how well you told them. We will all miss your cooking, and as we all know, No one could put it away like you.

I have to say family vacations will never be the same but I promise to try and make some great memories in your honor because I know you would want it that way.   I love You
