What a legendary man that I had the honor of meeting for his 100th birthday. His legend lives on in the work of the clinic and the foundation. I know as a family that you truly have such a wonderful life to celebrate and through your loss, his works and the care he gave to so many through the years must ease your pain and help you to get through this hurtful moment. My thoughts are with you.

It is with great honor and loss that I send you this condolence of a great person and a giver of love,care and humanity. I never knew Mr. Kelsey personally but I know he served this community with honor. I will always honor and admire him for I have been a patient at his great clinic for over 38 years. I thank him greatly for all his services and I wish I could have done it earlier, he really has made a positive difference in my life. May he be blessed always.

I was hired by John Roger Kelsey shortly after my graduation from Baylor College of Medicine in August 1974, PA Class #2. I was the first PA ever hired by the Kelsey-Seybold Clinic and I helped open the new satellite clinic on San Felipe. I worked with both Mavis and John for 3 years until I took and general practice position in El Paso, Texas with Dr. John Thomas. I later joined the Department of Veterans Affairs in Waco, Texas as a Geriatric Psychiatry PA and finished my 20 year career with the VA in 2013 at the VA Outpatient Clinic. I was the first PA to be hired at all 3 of my positions but the knowledge and expertise that I acquired at the Kelsey-Seybold Clinic was invaluable and it helped me establish my career. the compassion and empathy and bedside manner of the Kelseys was an excellent way to start my career and I owe a great debt of gratitude to them and their staff. I want to send my condolences and best wishes and prayers to all of the Kelsey family as well as the Kelsey-Seybold Clinic family.

Deacon and Mrs. James H. Meshell   11/18/2013
Dear Family and Friends of Dr. Kelsey, Our hearts go out to you upon the loss of your great friend and collegue, Dr. Kelsey. We had not known his story before today, when my husband went in for outpatient surgery, I was struck by the portrait of this man and saw that he had recently died. I had to find out more about who he was and what he must have meant to people. Surely my husband and countless thousands of others would not have recieved care in this way without his pioneering spirit. May you who mourn Dr. Kelsey's loss be comforted by our Lord Jesus Christ and may his work and legacy live on. On this, the day of his memorial, please permit us to offer this prayer in his honor: Lord God, You sent your Son into the world to preach the Good News of salvation and to pour out His Spirit of grace upon your people. Look with kindness on your faithful servant, our brother Mavis. As a disciple of Jesus he was strengthened by the gift of the Spirit to live a life of love and service— a living witness to the Good News of Christ. In your mercy, Give him the reward promised to those who show their love of you by service to their neighbor. Most merciful God, whose wisdom is beyond our understanding, Surround the Kelsey family with your love that they may not be overwhelmed by their loss, but have confidence in your goodness, and strength to meet the days to come. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Darla Love   11/15/2013
To the family of Dr. Mavis Kelsey, I met Dr. Mavis at West Clinic in the lab (LabCorp) and it was a great pleasure to meet someone so well known which we share the same birthday. I will always remember his birthday and age he is 51 yrs older than me. So that's my story on Dr. Mavis Kelsey. Family and friends Dr. M. Kelsey served his time well as we know. Just remember we will see him on the other side. With prayers and deepest condolence. Darla Love & Family

Mary Sit   11/15/2013
When I was a business reporter for the Houston Chronicle, I interviewed Dr. Seybold at his home. He was in his 80s, and I was impressed how sharp his mind was. The perfect host, he had homemade chocolate chip cookies on a platter for me, and insisted I take some home with me. Not only was he a pioneer in medicine, he had perfected that "bedside manner" which was evident to first-time guests in his home. Dr. Seybold contributed greatly to Houston's health care landscape. My deepest sympathies to his family.

Danita Davidson   11/15/2013

Ann L. Cook   11/15/2013
Dr. Mavis Kelsey was super-intelligent but able to relate to every person he met. He achieved greatness while remaining humble and approachable. He was accomplished in many areas with a great store of knowledge, but was not bombastic or overbearing. He perfected the lost art of "visiting" with his terrific conversational abilities and genuine interest in others. He had a great, infectious laugh. He leaves an incredible legacy with his vision, perseverance, and generosity, and in Kelsey-Seybold Clinic which so proudly bears his name. God bless you, Dr. Kelsey. You will always be in our hearts.

Jackie Mathews   11/15/2013

My heartfelt condolences go to your family. I was able to meet Dr Kelsey when he would come into my area of the clinic. He was, nd always will remain in my memories, a kind man who would smile whenever you spoke with him. He definitely appreciated the people who worked in any area of the clinic. He will be missed, but he will always be remembered fondly for the type of person he was and respected for all that he achieved.

Condolences to the Kelsey family regarding the passing of Dr. Mavis Kelsey. Very nice to see the photo gallery on the Kelsey website, sure brought Dr. Kelsey to life for those of us who did not know him personally. He sure did have a productive life and gave his all to help others. No one could ask for more and I'm sure his family will miss him. Those of us who benefit from his legacy, the Kelsey-Seybold clinics are grateful for what he has accomplished. Well done Dr. Mavis Kelsey!

Claudia Ruth Gutierrez   11/13/2013
I have been visiting the clinics since the 1970's and just went to the Kelsey-Seybold sight to make an appt. and saw that Dr. Kelsey had passed away. I never knew any history about him or the clinic. I read and viewed the pictures, Wow, what an inspiration he was. It brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful legacy he has left. I know his family is saddened by his passing but must be so proud of all his accomplishments for so many years. Please accept my condolences and prayers for the family.

It was an honor to work with Dr. Kelsey on our series for PBS featuring historic Texas courthouses, a topic of particular interest for him. We used his book, "The Courthouses of Texas," as a field guide while filming courthouses across the state. He was a man of many interests and talents. He shall be missed.

Valerie Wilke   11/12/2013
It was a pleasure to have met Dr. Kelsey the first year I began my job here at Kelsey-Seybold in 2009. This is truly a great organization and without your vision, this company would not have grown to what it is today. Thank you for creating this healthcare system and for bringing innovations in medicine to the residents of Houston.

Bonnie Gardner   11/12/2013
