YES
I knew Elder Jonathan Edward Kelly Very Well -

As a matter of fact one morning, around 3 AM,
He & Bro Ernie Jolley crawled thru a window in
our house
and
they were even making their breakfast by the
time I came downstairs to see just exactly what
was going on -

Bro Ernie Jolley Wanted To Explain The Break-In
SO
Bro Jolley then told us
{As Only He Could Tell }
that they were on the way
to Bro Kelly's Wedding
and
Ed had gotten Cold Feet
And Was Hungry and Nervious -

Ernie Knew That
If
They Would Stop By Our House,
Crawl Thru A Window,
And
Cook Some Breakfast,
Then
They Would No Longer Be Hungry -
and
He Also Knew
By The Time We Got Thru With Them
Bro Kelley Would
No Longer Be Nervious
But Anxious
To Get On To The Hemphills
And The Wedding -
LOL

I have been with the Kelleys several times down thru the years
and even know Angelia & Tad very well -

If my memory serves me correctly,
You also spoke at Bishop Kelley's Homegoing
and that's the last time I remember seeing you -



Blessings

Actually that would have been my brother David Eckstadt that spoke at his homecoming.

Thanks for the funny story.

I have several sermons of my Dad on CD.

Would like me to send along a few of them?

ALso if you have any of his material or Bro. Kelly's I would love to have it.

I would copy it to CD and make a copy for you as well.

Angela and Tab were very close friends of ours when we were all kids.

They were just the neatest family.

Man could Bro. Kelly dress or what!!!

PM me with your address.

My dads sermons are outstanding....
