#89

Those who knew her the Olean Times Herald ran her obit today. Sorry I don't know how to post it here.

She is now gone. I was hoping for tomorrow because today was her granddaughter 18 birthday and I didn't want this to be a sad time for her. She fought til the end and I'm so, so thankful for her life. She was a kind giving soul & a beautiful woman inside and out. She loved Steve Tasker and would say hi to the TV when his West Herr ads came on. Said Steve reminded her of my brother Jim and Steve was always kind to Mom.

You all have had a loved one pass and it is most difficult. They say my Mom is passing on tonight or tomorrow. I had this wonderful woman for almost 64 years( boy I'm old) Well it's hard not to cry and feel bad but she was an angel on earth and God wants her back. She will now join Dad and my husband. I hope they have a great long time before I join them. Happy Thanksgiving.

I bought something in the mail for $388, One part was damaged so they sent me a return label. I sent it back. instead of sending me the replacement they sent the whole order again and I've checked my card for 2 weeks and no additional charges. What do I do with all this stuff?

come on Olean is a great place. I never want to move.

Just to let you all know I'm still alive. Health issues and depression have turned me into a hermit. I think of you all and still love my Bills and tailgate memories. I'm coming up on my husband's death anniversary and it's hard to believe it was 1999. You all rallied around me and I will never forget it. GO BILLS

I hope he mounted that beautiful head.

I love him #88 catch the ball and fall down. TD

Thanks so much

I always loved Ralph and even more now.

burn some white sage to rid the evil spirits

I hear a guy hacking up a lung every day. At least once an hour. GROSS. I hate the sound of clippers too.

I'm told by two Drs I'm depressed. I have so many on the list but I would never take my life and I do not want to go on the HAPPY PILLS. Thus I have become a hermit.

Wonderful idea THANKS

I believe he is also matching all the funds from that tailgate going to Hunter's Hope out of his own pocket.

All I can say is that I'm scared yet hopeful. The Chemo is going to take a serious toll on the family. I don't think anyone is prepared to see their loved ones look as ill as they do going through it. Yes, Jim is a strong man but so was my Larry. He shaved his head and facial hair off before the chemo took it and then surprised me when I was working at the mall. This guy just kept leaning on the counter smiling and I thought what is up with that guy. Then he spoke and it was my husband of 23 years and I didn't know who he was. It's a scary sad time for the whole Kelly family. Pray every day for all of them. They are even in my dreams which makes me pray even more.

For the past 3 years I haven't gotten my training camp hug from Ralph and now there won't be another chance. He was a wonderful man and will be missed by many. His family are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I hope he gets in while I'm still alive. He is a very humble person.

I'm not in a looney bin - Under the bed

Thanks for the memories. I feel this board saved my sanity and my life - many years ago. I use to sit at the computer and laugh until I cried and my husband thought I was nuts. Sorry to say I just don't laugh anymore. Not everything in this world is gloom and doom. The Bills can have a winning season if they get it in their heads WIN and stop making all those metal errors. Depression has made me a hermit except for working and my store. The Bills are not like I had it in the past. Friends to many who still contact me on facebook. The annual Tasker Christmas cards makes my year. I have not gone to training camp or a game in at least 3 years. Sucks to get old. Hang in there. Better days are coming. I still pop in once a month.

Working in the educational field. Nothing - but thankful I have a job.

I made it through another day, month, year without my husband. Yesterday was 14 years since he was taken away. Sometimes I just have to put the words down on paper. He was such a wonderful, kind man. I work with several butts and this time of the year is extremely hard. So if someone is quite and does not want to participate in the Holly Jolly of the season - let them be. You know not how they might be suffering in silence and prefer to be left alone.

After I lost Larry 15 days after his 46 birthday and 5 days after mine the Dec 10th date haunted me. It was at least 5 years before I could go without crying. Hang in there. I have to hire a handyman to do all those things. Thank God he was friends with the furnace man. I went 6 months without heat before I knew it was broken. My advise is to find a handy man you can trust. Good Luck

my life is too busy to read the wall especially with my new young male boss. He watches everything. HI EVERYONE I hope to attend the tailgate. Fingers crossed.

I know so much about Jim both good and bad. My run ins with him left a bad taste in my mouth but no one deserves cancer. I HATE the "C" word with a passion after watching my husband die. Prayers to Jim and Jill. I use to lecture those men about chewing tabacco.
