Don’t Cry For Me

By: Deborah Garcia Gaitan

Don’t cry for me. I will be okay.

Heaven is my home now, and this is where I’ll stay.

Don’t cry for me. I’m where I belong.

I want you to be happy and try to stay strong.

Don’t cry for me. It was just my time,

but I will see you someday on the other side.

Don’t cry for me. I am not alone.

The angels are with me to welcome me home.

Don’t cry for me, for I have no fear.

All my pain is gone, and Jesus took my tears.

Don’t cry for me. This is not the end.

I’ll be waiting here for you when we meet again.

Mr. Leo Bernard Kelso, age 66, entered into eternal rest on February 24, 2020 at Centra Lynchburg General Hospital.

Leo is preceded in death by his father Monroe Kelso, Sr., a son Bernard Kelso, Jr., one sister, Helen Faye Fleshman and a brother, Monroe Kelso, Jr.

Bernard as we all knew him by was a very funny person to be around. He loved having fun. Most of all he loved building houses, brick laying, carpentry and electrical work, doing yard work and just fixing things.

He is survived by his mother Helen Kelso, of the home; two daughters, Nikita Kelso and Kristi Kelso both of Petersburg, VA; one son, Marquise Davis of Lynchburg, VA; two sisters, Barbara Woodson (Sammy) of Spout Spring, VA and Thelma Kelso of Appomattox, VA; two brothers, Ben Kelso and Ward Kelso (Janet) both of Appomattox, VA; a God brother, Rev. Ronnie Mosley (Jackie) of Concord, VA; five grandchildren, two uncles, Rev. Harrison Kelso of Spout Spring, VA and Nathaniel Kelso of Washington, D.C.

He also leaves to cherish his memory a devoted ex-wife Julia Pope; a devoted cousin William Kelso, two devoted friends Norman Ferguson and Eric Jones and a host of other nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
