For the first time after the death of Barby Kelly, her older brother Jimmy Kelly speaks on Instagram and publishes touching words about his grief.
“Maybe I should have written a personal post about Barby earlier, but to be honest I still can’t understand why she left us. I just can’t find the right words and I’m in a mix Shock and deep sadness. ” These are moving words that Jimmy Kelly, 50, has now published in a post on Instagram. In it he also reveals what his sister died of in April.
Jimmy Kelly posts emotional words
It is the first time that the musician has spoken out about the death of his younger sister Barby Kelly, 45 †. He had previously posted a general statement from the Kelly Family in April, but then Jimmy, like many of his siblings, withdrew and only published two photos with information about his concerts.
Now Jimmy’s emotions are almost gushing out, especially with regard to his Christian faith: “But what makes me most happy as a devout Christian and her brother is that she has embarked on a spiritual path, especially in the last year she invited God into her life, which gave her much joy and peace. […] If there is one lesson I can learn from Bobby’s early death, it is that you should see your loved ones here and now, and that heaven is our ultimate goal. “
He reveals the cause of Barby Kelly’s death
The sudden death of Barby Kelly shook her fans deeply – probably also because her family has remained silent about the cause of death until now. In his post, however, Jimmy Kelly reveals: “On the night of April 15th, after a short illness from a pulmonary embolism, she fell asleep peacefully with her family.” Since then he has still missed her very much. “I sometimes catch myself looking into nowhere, thinking about her and not even realizing how much time has actually just passed.
Details about Barby Kelly’s last year
The photo that Jimmy posted for his statement shows a note that Barby wrote to a nun just a few days before her death. Jimmy reveals that his sister had started correspondence courses last year.
Barby Kelly died in April at the age of only 45 after a brief illness. She hadn’t been an active member of the band for several years and suffered from mental illness.
