I don’t know how many of you know who Jim Kelly or his son, Hunter, are, but there is some sad news regarding Hunter. These parents are heroes! May God comfort them in their time of grief.

Jim Kelly’s Son Dies

Yes, I knew of the Kellys and their son…sad…
I didn’t know Hunter had died.
Thanks for posting.

It is indeed very sad that Hunter has died. However, that Hunter’s illness inspired Jim and Jill Kelly to find a way to help children born with Krbbe’s disease lead more normal lives and even helped get legislation passed in New York to test newborns for the disease so that the infants can receive the necessary medical procedure shows that Hunter’s life was not in vain. That little boy’s brief life has allowed so much good to be done for other children with the disease and their families than we will ever know.

This morning’s Buffalo News had a nice quote from Jill Kelly: “I pray that instead of looking at the quality of life, that people would look at the sanctity of life.”

Let’s pray that we all adopt that attitude.

Jim Kelly made one of the greatest speeches ever when he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He talked about his son Hunter and how he was the hero in his life. It was great stuff.

That’s sad to hear. Jim Kelly was on the Jim Rome show in the last couple of weeks and gave a fabulous interview. I’m sorry to hear about his son.
