This is in dedication to my little brother, Joseph Kelly. A great young man, with a bright future. The last message he left on my facebook page was "I See You". Well, I say to you, "Joe, I hope to 'SEE YOU' again someday". To his mother, sisters, son, girlfriend and to the whole Kelly family, friends, classmates, teachers, co-workers and loved ones, this is a healing process that must begin. May God Bless You all. Rest In Peace, Joe! We Will Always Love You!!!
