The Kelly family's are the most wonderful people ever. My dad bought a lot of animals off of A.D. Kelly, and also from the Utah Livestock Auction. Our families have remained good friends. I'm very sorry to see the end of a tradation like many others. So to Brent, Mary and family, and my special friend Van, I wish you the best. Also to Ed, Barbara and family I wish you the best also. I hope our family will be friends forever. I very greatful to my dad for taking me to the auction, all those years ago. love to the Kelly's Your friend forever, Kenna Rae Blonquist
