Kiley McNulty Obituary

Miss you nephew. Im still wearing one of your emerald earrings. Still have your Bears magnet on my fridge. Too hot here to wear your leather jacket but it fits and looks great.

Hi Kiley,
I think of you and pray for you often. I know you are surrounded by all of our McNulty's, O'Hare's, Finley's, Special's and LaPorte's. You are loved by them all.
Until we're all together again in Heaven............
Much love,
Your cousin

Grandma loves you more than life loves life. We had had mass for you today at st. Alberts your favorie church. Erin, Rolando and myself visited you after mass hope you felt our presence we sure felt yours.
Love Grandma Mart.

Hi my baby, it's Mom. The 23rd is only 2 days away and it will be a year already. It seems like yesterday and the pain is just as strong but, also I am finding some kind of peace within myself with the help, love and understanding of my family, friends and other people who love and care about not just me, but u to. I have been reading a book called When Bad Things Happen to Good People by Harold S. Kushner. I know u would luv this book!!! It was written in the memory of his dead son. The first passage in the book is and I quote.
And David said: While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept, for I said, Who knows whether the lord will be gracious to me and the child will live. But now that the child is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me. ( II Samual 12:22-23 )
The author is a Christian Clergyman and has helped me to understand allot about what I am going thru with ur death my son. I know u w/be proud of me.
The one thing I have to say to all the parents who have lost a child is you have inherited his books and toys and stereo, you inherited his unlived years. They are a precious legacy from him to you; use them well. Don't be afraid to enjoy life because your loved one isn't there to enjoy it with you. Live his years along with your own, and feel his presence as you do so.
Well my son, my baby, my heart. You are with me always just as you are with me now.

Rest in peace my baby because our connection will never be lost, and our love will never waiver.

Mom

My son, all this month is going to be extra hard on myself as your mother and your sister and all those who have loved you your whole life. I was privilaged to have loved and cherished you that whole time. Whovever says it was not your time to go is wrong. It was all in God's hands and He has a purpose for everthing that happens. We talked and you knew deep in your soul how your life would play out and now I believe that. I am looking at your 1st pictures the day I gave birth to you and you were sooo beautiful and strong but, oh so tiny. Your Father and I w/take turns keeping you on either side of our bed and feel your little chest just to make sure you were breathing, we were so scared in the beginning. I think we lightened up when your Father let you suck on a rib bone and we all know what happened after that. That's just the beginning of your life. I made an album of your life on Earth with me holding you and Erin and your Father too. Such joy on our faces. I wish I c/go back but I can't. All i can do is keep loving you as always and missing you so much my heart hurts. So keep sending me sighns that you are around like you did today. All my love

It seem's like yesterday you were here .I still can remember the phone calls during football,baseball ,and basketball season.I can still hear you talk about all of the knew thing's you just needed to go out and buy .I remember all the times you told me how crazy thing's would get in our live's but you alway's found a way to laugh about it . I will alway's remember how many people love and miss you each and every day your gone. I know your never to far from the people you love because you alway's find a way to let us all know your here with us in someway.It could be a smell ,a song ,a sudden memory ,and even sudden feeling your right in the same room.I know your here because it wasn't your time to go ,I know your here because we all miss you so much .But your in God's hand's now the safest place to be. Are heart's will alway's ache for you until we meet again. MAY THE IRISH HILLS CARESS YOU. MAY HER LAKES AND RIVERS BLESS
YOU.MAY THE LUCK OF THE IRISH ENFOLD YOU. MAY THE BLESSING OF SAINT PATRICK BEHOLD YOU. Always remember to forget the thing's that made you sad. But never forget to remember the thing's that made you glad. Always remember to forget the friend's that PROVED UNTRUE But never forget to remember THOSE THAT HAVE STUCK BY YOU.Alway's remember to forget the troubles that passed away But never forget to remember The Blessing's that come each Day. With all my Love Izzy.

Son,soon it will be a year since you left us. Kiley I hope n pray, there is a way you can here me, when I talk to you? I know you might not of thought you meant so much, to all of us,let me tell you, ya did. My world will never be the same without you. I MISS N LOVE YOU SO MUCH.DAD

Hi baby, it's your Mom, just missing you like crazy. That seems to be everyday and night. I'm here in Arkansas by your grandparents trying to make peace w/what happened and all they talk about is missing there boy. I have started to keep a journal of what goes on every day and I will read it to you at night around 3am when I can't sleep and your not there to talk to like we always did. I'm hoping this is the next best thing. You took my heart with you when you left so take care of it till we meet again. Rikki and Desi miss you to!!!! So, see ya when I see ya baby.
All my love forever and ever.

Mom

Kiley father's day will be here next sunday,this one will be tough as will all the ones,without you. I will miss your call, that I looked forward to every fathers day.I so look forward to the day when we meet again.Im not the same person since you went to heaven,but I promise you I will never,let anyone mistake my kindness for weakness,because I think some might,I would not ever let that happen. I will do my best to keep you proud of me,like I was of you. I LOVE YOU DAD.

Warm Summer Sun

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.

Hey Kiley ,

I still can't believe your gone. It broke my heart when Loreley told me I broke down in tears. I'm always going to have all the memories we had together!! You always made me happy when we were together. You were always in my heart even though we were not "together" anymore. I remember when u first got your celtic cross you were so happy you came over right away to show it off lol. So many good memories I will always cherish. My prayers go out to your mom, erin, and dad...

Always going to Love You...

Letty

This is for my son Kiley I believe it's true.
Do not sand at my grave & weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow; I am the diamond glint on the snow; I am the sunlight on ripened grain; I am the gentle Autumn rain.
when you awaken in the morning HUSH; I am the swift uplifting rush of quit birds in circled flight; I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die

I love you my Son.You and Me Always and forever!!! I know your out there watching and that gives me some kind of peace but, I hear you in the house in the kitchen making a mess or your laughter when you are watching the Simpson's. Everyone loved your laugh. I hear you calling my name but your not there. I know Erin and I and the dogs were the most important things to you and all of your close friends too.You touched allot of peoples life and you will be dearly missed.

Tell everyone up there I said hi.

Goodbye for now my son, my friend.
Mom

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Kiley I can remember a time when you told me you don't smile.Well I knew I would get you to someday and that day was christmas 2006.I will alway's remember that smile.I love and miss you and I will never give up on making you smile.I love you! your stepmother .

To my baby boy.Until today I did not think I could do this without breaking down...well I was right.. I did break down. You were and are my miracle baby.We could tell each other anything. My baby, my best friend, you always new what I felt even if I did not say a word. You brought me the greatest joy a Mother could ever ask for and I know you knew that. I will always remember you telling me over and over YOU AND ME MOM ALWAYS AND FOREVER and forever it will be. You took a part of my heart with you and I you. Mom

Kiley

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Happy Birthday Kiley!! I just wanted to let you know how much your family misses you. I know you would want nothing more than to see everyone happy. It breaks my heart to see Erin suffer so much, I know you are in her thoughts every minute of every day. I would give anything to see her happy again. Unfortunately, their is nothing I can say or do to take away the pain she has been left with, but I will do whatever it takes to make her life as pleasant as possible,I promise. Oh one more thing, Ricky and Desi, miss you and Lucy, as well.
Let your grandfather know we miss him, and do us a favor ask the "big guy" up there to let us keep Ricky for many more years (jk). Tommorow is my b-day I dont want any gift,all I want is for Rick to continue recovering she has been through so much and too many surgeries, and she is one of the few things that brings a smile to Erins face and brightens up our day.

Kiley I guess the saying is true you don't know .what you got till it's gone.I found that out the hardway . I LOVE YOU DAD.

Ay lad,
I left a shot and some tears on the bar at the pub last night in your honor lil brother.. I'd give anything the Good Lord would ask of me to be able to have had sat there with you to ejoy it.. My words cant describe how much I miss you.
Love Slats

Kiley today 1-8-08 is you first birthday in Heaven. We all love you and miss you. My life is just not the same with out you.
Love, your Dad

Dear Kiley,
It's New Years Eve and words cant describe how much I miss you. I can't believe that your gone, it feels so weird knowing your not here anymore but you will always be with me in spirit. On St.Patricks day I no you would want the whole family to party and not be sad, and dont forget WATCH OUT FOR BOYS!!

You were always so protective of me and I just wanted to say thank you because I never had a chance to say it face to face.

I will always think of you every day kiley no matter were you are because I know one day I will be right beside you having even more memories then before. But untill then I just wanted to say how much I love you always and forever.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Kiley I have not been able to put into words how losing you has put such a huge void in everyones life.I know there has been many sleepless nights since you have been gone.I don't think anyone knew how much you did for each and every one of us.they say you don't know what you got until it is gone and that holds very true.There will alway's be a empty feeling in everyone you have touched in your life. Please remember I will always try to do what I think you would have wanted me to do to make things right.I loved you like my own son and I will always be proud of who you are,your a special part of my life and I will always belive in you. LOVE YOU MUCH YOUR STEPMOM IZZY.

Kiley, I just wanted to let you know that I think of you and remember you like you are right here with me EVERYDAY! sometimes I just sit and think of all those crazy and fun times we had. When the weather changes,the wind blows the sun sets...I see your face and I can hear you and it feels like you are really here with me..Your Godson, Noah, will know you. he will know how great of a person you were, what you have done to help us and our family through trying times, how excited you were when Steve asked you to be his Godfather...that outfit you wore to the baptism...you always had style man...EVERYTHING! Noah will celebrate the life you had and continue where you left off he will know you got him the St. Patrick's medallion and necklace and I will show him the video of his baptism and he will know when he sees you holding him how much you really did love him..like he was your own..and I will teach him your values. We really miss you so much....I will see you again..I know this. I love you. Meliss

What I rememeber about you Kiley , is your personality and humor. I havent seen you in so long and I am sorry about that but now you are in heaven making everyone laugh and we are down here hoping you are happier than ever ...

God saw he was getting tired and the cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around him and whispered "Come with me"
With tearful hearts we watched him fade away.
Although we loved him dearly,we could not make him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,hard working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us.
He only takes the best.

Kiley,
We will miss you very much; you will always have a place in our hearth. We hope you'll be happy to know that your niece or nephew will be named after their loving uncle... Kiley. We will meet again someday but, for now let grandpa and everyone else know we love and miss them.

My nephew Kiley,

I wish I had more time to spend with you. I know you are with God where He has promised to wipe every tear from our eyes. Till we meet again.

Uncle Bryan

My deepest condolences to you Debbie for the loss of your son. My prayers are with you and your family.

You will be missed and remembered by all. Your God Son will always know what a loving person you were.

Kiley, you will always be in my heart brother.

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be ever at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And the rain fall softly on your fields
And until we meet again, May God hold
you in the hollow of his hand

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.
