At one point in recent weeks, Mary Lou asked what she should wear for the funeral. Jill’s sister joked she could wear her Jason Kelce jersey
Carey lit up and said, ‘” Yes, I love him!”.
The family wanted to do something special for their mom, so they wondered if Jason Kelce could sign the jersey.
They put the word out on Facebook and soon Carey’s jersey found its way to Kelce’s Haverford home, where he signed it.
When Mary Lou found out that Jason Kelce had signed her jersey, she said “For me?” Then she smiled.
The family received the signed jersey back in time for the Monday funeral, bringing joy on an otherwise dark day.
“He’s all about the fans and the community. He goes the extra mile, and that’s why everyone loves him,” Jill Carey said.
