We Love You Kelly

Hello everyone, I just want to say thank you for everything you have all done to help over the past months. This has been a rocky road that we have maintained a positive attitude about even though the truth was not friendly. On Monday June 25th about 830pm Kelly W. Slack passed away peacefully at St. Francis Hospital.

It was very peaceful and a wonderful environment, and we should all be glad to know that Kelly is no longer in pain. My hope is that none of you hear this for the the first time on here. It has been our effort to give as much time as possible for phone calls and personal words to be exchanged, but the circle of people involved is far too large for everyone to make contact. Please know that Marilyn and Dustin are doing fine, and love all who read this very much. We are publishing this on the blog now so everyone will hopefully be informed by the end of day today.

The following is a copy of the obituary that will published in tomorrow's newspaper:

Slack, Kelly Wayne 51, Slack & Associates, Inc. President, passed quietly surrounded by family and friends Monday, June 25, 2007. Memorial services will be 4:00 p.m. Thursday at the Dawson United Methodist Church, 2741 S. Laura, Wichita. Reception and jam following at Park Villa in Riverside Park. Survivors include his wife, Marilyn Joyce-Slack of the home; son, Dustin Joyce of Wichita; father, Ted Slack of Haysville; sister, Judith Reitcheck and her husband Richard of Lampe, MO. Kelly was preceded in death by his mother, Bettie Short Slack. In lieu of flowers, a memorial has been established with the Kelly Slack Family Fund, c/o Dee Dunlap, 5219 Plaza Ln., Wichita, KS 67208. Online guest book and Paypal donations link available at kellyslack.blogspot.com.

We love you all and want you to remember that Kelly has always celebrated life, and so shall we.
