Since there will be no graveside service, in lieu of flowers, please consider a gift. Dan and Belle's children have set up an account at Chase Bank under the name of Belle Reed Kelly, should you feel led to bless her in this way. Jennifer Borgne, is also on the account for reference purposes. Any local Chase branch will be able to facilitate and the account is flagged “In Memorial of Dan Kelly”.
After the service we would like to invite you to join us at 1716 Mineral Springs Drive, Allen Texas 75002 to continue the celebration in honor of a man whose life has shown no bounds; whose faith has been evident in his manner; whose love surpassed all that might separate; whose generosity and sacrifice proved freedom was worth it; whose life has been LARGER-THAN;
Our Hero, Husband and Father, Daniel "Peg Leg" Kelly, who is Greatly Missed; but finally whole and in the presence of the Lord
