Tom's devotion to Jesus Christ and His Gospel was evident in his ministry to children through Child Evangelism Fellowship. He also, for many years, encouraged people to come to a weekly Bible Study in Pampa, and Tom and Virginia made sure we had a place to share the Word of God, no matter how few or how many came. Later, when they moved to Lubbock, they faithfully attended the Bible study there, and brought family members and friends. Tom had hundreds of tapes he made of our messages from the Pampa and Lubbock classes, which he painstakingly converted to CDs to make the Word easier to share with others. Another of our most cherished memories is, after we moved from Amarillo to Houston, we went to Lubbock to visit Tom and Virginia just before Virginia's passing. Tom asked us to give them 30 minutes before we went to their house. Later, we learned he needed the time to put Virginia's makeup on her! That's how we remember Tom Kelley: a true representative of Jesus on so many levels.

Nancy, David, and family: I am so very saddened to read of your Daddy's death. He was such a very kind man, always making everyone feel comfortable. My prayers are that you know the peace and love of your Heavenly Father, as you grieve your earthly Daddy, especially as Father's Day is upon us this week...With much love, Dale and Stephanie
