Happy Birthday “Kelly”
Happy Birthday to another dear friend, Kelly Uzzetta. Have a lot of friends who are having a birthday all around this time of the year!
Kelly was looking for a new home when I first met her. I was a real estate agent at the time and we spent a couple of weeks looking for a nice property – something with some land and lots of room for their seven (7) children. We found just the right property and her family moved in – and we had struck up such a good friendship, which was fun for both of us, and our families.
Over the years her children grew up and I was invited to birthdays and then to weddings and to children being born, making “Kelly” a “Grandma!” Also, Mr. Uzzetta was in the construction business and I was in need of having a new “bay window” being installed in my house. Mr. Uzzetta and his son were able to complete this job, perfectly. There were several other jobs we needed and Mr.Uzzetta was able to do these as well and at reasonable rates.
There were times when we had the Uzzettas come over for dinner and we were also to their home just as many or more times. It was just one of those times when you just click into a good friendship, and not knowing what the future has in store – and we did enjoyed many good years associating!
The time for an unforeseen accident though is something – we just could not comprehend. Kelly had just come home from work and had dinner with her family – and was going to enjoy a short time watching TV – when without any warning and no way to know – what would be happening in just a very few minutes?
Coming down the highway – a driver “drunk” and having been arrested so many times and still had his driver’s license – crossed over the highway – up and over another road-way and right into “Kelly’s” living room window and “Kelly was there suiting, on the sofa.
Instantly, she was killed. The living room and front entrance to the house , all damaged beyond belief. How could this have happened? The drunk- driver came right between two (2) very large trees – and he, without a scratch. What a night -mare for my very good friend, Kelly and her family. Her funeral followed in a few days. Such a good life – killed by a drunk-driver, who should have been without a license to drive – while he still had to drink???
Kelly – you may not be here on earth, now – but you are in a for greater place and that is in Heaven – I will never ever forget you. You were and always will be, a “terrific friend to me!”
